This year, Dell Med\u2019s Class of 2026 achieved a 100% match rate. Half of students were matched to residencies in Texas, with 25% of students continuing their training and caring for patients at Dell Med. More than a quarter of students matched to primary care specialties \u2014 such as family medicine, internal medicine and pediatrics \u2014 and several students matched to highly competitive specialty areas like anesthesiology and Dell Med\u2019s first-ever match into interventional radiology, a medical specialty that uses minimally invasive procedures to diagnose and treat diseases.<\/p>\n
\u201cOver the past few years, I\u2019ve had the privilege of getting to know you not just as medical students, but as people \u2014 curious, thoughtful, resilient individuals navigating one of the most demanding and formative chapters of your lives,\u201d said Sherine E. Salib<\/a>, M.D., Dell Med\u2019s associate dean for curriculum. \u201cTeaching and working alongside you has been a genuine joy. You brought energy, reflection and heart to your learning, and you reminded me \u2014 again and again \u2014 why I love being part of academic medicine.\u201d<\/p>\n This summer, 168 residents and fellows from 78 institutions will begin their training at Dell Med, bringing the total to 494 physicians in training at the school. The newest group of trainees join Dell Med at a pivotal time as the University builds a\u00a0world-class, integrated academic medical center<\/a>\u00a0in Austin.<\/p>\n Match Day by the Numbers<\/p>\n
