After a months-long application process, medical students across the country are paired with residency programs through the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nrmp.org\/\">National Resident Matching Program<\/a>. Each year on the third Friday of March, students learn where they will continue their medical training and hone their skills in their specialty of choice as resident physicians.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<div class='embed-youtube' style='text-align:center; display: block;'><iframe class='youtube-player' type='text\/html' width='640' height='390' src='https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/-BKnlT0oTDs?version=3&#038;rel=1&#038;fs=1&#038;autohide=2&#038;showsearch=0&#038;showinfo=1&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;wmode=transparent' frameborder='0' allowfullscreen='true'><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">MD Program: The Next Step for WSU&#8217;s Coug Doctors<\/h2>\n\n\n<div class=\"wsu-row wsu-row--sidebar-left\" >\r\n    \n<div class=\"wsu-column wsu-spacing-top--medium\"  style=\"\">\r\n\t\n<div class=\"wsu-stat  wsu-stat--decorator-layout-bar-none wsu-stat--decorator-layout-circle-top-left wsu-animate wsu-animate--action-fade-left wsu-stat--style-round wsu-stat--decorator-layout-bar-none wsu-stat--decorator-layout-circle-top-left\" >\n\t<span class=\"wsu-stat__decorator\"><\/span>\n\t<span class=\"wsu-stat__value-wrapper\">\n\t\t<span class=\"wsu-stat__value\">98.5%<\/span>\n\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t<span class=\"wsu-stat__caption\">Residency Attainment<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t<span class=\"wsu-stat__citation\">in 2025<\/span>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wsu-font-size--small\"><\/p>\n\n<\/div>\r\n\n\n<div class=\"wsu-column\"  style=\"\">\r\n\t\n\n<p>The\u202fWSU Elson S. Floyd College of Medicine <a href=\"https:\/\/medicine.wsu.edu\/md\/\">MD program<\/a> matched 98.5% of its fourth-year medical students into residency programs on or before Match Day, which took place on March 21 this year.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n<\/div>\r\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>Among this year\u2019s class, nearly 70% will remain in the western U.S. for their residencies. That includes 41.2%, or 28 students, staying in Washington. A desire to stay in the state reflects a commitment among students to the college\u2019s mission to improve access to care in Washington communities, as doctors are more likely to practice medicine where they complete their residency training, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.aamc.org\/data-reports\/students-residents\/data\/report-residents\/2024\/executive-summary\">research shows<\/a>.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Students who placed outside of Washington won\u2019t be gone for long. WSU\u2019s MD program admits applicants with ties to Washington who demonstrate an interest in serving our state\u2019s communities as physicians, a process that has shown success as <a href=\"https:\/\/medicine.wsu.edu\/news\/2024\/08\/09\/first-md-graduates-serve-washington-communities\/\">most of the inaugural class are now practicing in Washington<\/a>.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Many of this year\u2019s class hope to make an impact by improving access to specialty care in Washington communities.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI am eager to serve rural communities in Washington as an interventional radiologist, where access to specialized health care can be limited,\u201d said Petr Gaburak, a fourth-year medical student who matched into an interventional radiology residency at the University of California Davis Medical Center, a partnership with Spokane Teaching Health Center. \u201cBy bringing advanced imaging and minimally invasive procedures to these areas, I aim to improve patient outcomes and enhance the quality of care.\u201d\u202f&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition to specialty care, communities across the state and country face a shortage of primary care physicians. This year, 47% of the Class of 2025, or 32 students, chose primary care specialties. This included 11 matches in family medicine, 11 in internal medicine, five in pediatrics, four in OB\/GYN, and one in internal medicine-pediatrics.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI have always known that I wanted to go into primary care,\u201d said Ali Vyhmeister, a fourth-year medical student who matched into a family medicine residency at Providence St. Peter Hospital in Chehalis, Washington. \u201cI was drawn to family medicine because of the wide scope of practice that it offers and the unique opportunity to develop long-term, multigenerational relationships with patients and their families.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Each medical student\u2019s journey is unique.
