Residency Match Day Results and Student Success
What is Match Day?
Match Day is a pivotal moment for any future physician. It’s the day when students find out where they will complete their postgraduate training and the residency program they match in to.
At Medical University of the Americas (MUA), we are proud to celebrate the success of our graduates, which is reflected in a 93% Three-Year Residency Placement Rate* across the U.S. and Canada.
