Past Residency Choices

Nearly all (>95%) of our graduates do residency training. Traditionally, the most popular residencies have been internal medicine, pediatrics and pathology - and after a dip through the 90's, that seems to be the case again. The figure below provides an analysis of the alumni who have an association with a clinical department with a breakdown between recent alumni (those graduating between 1992 and 2001, many of whom were still in residency training) and alumni before 1992. We continue to encourage trainees to pursue their interests, but also advise them to keep in mind that some areas of clinical training work better than others when put in the context of a career that will focus on research.
