Residency Bound!
Match Day for the Class of 2002

Primary care continued to draw the largest numbers of graduating students to residency programs in 2002, at the U-M (39 percent) as well as nationally (47 percent). Primary care includes the specialties of family medicine, internal medicine, pediatrics, and obstetrics and gynecology. Support specialties drew the next-largest group of students (25 percent of U-M graduates, 20 percent nationally), including emergency medicine, diagnostic radiology, radiation oncology, physical medicine and rehabilitation, anesthesiology and pathology. Surgical specialties drew nearly 17 percent of U-M students, compared with nearly ten percent nationally.

Ninety-six percent of U-M Medical School students who participated in the National Resident Matching Program were successfully matched with one of their choices for specialty at a specific institution, higher than the national match rate of just over 94 percent.
