2007 Match: record number of U.S. seniors apply to residency programs
2007 Match: record number of U.S. seniors apply to residency programs
Last week, more than 15,000 U.S. medical school seniors participated in “Match Day” ceremonies nationwide to learn where they will spend their years of residency training following graduation. The record number of seniors applying for residencies through the National Resident Matching Program (NRMP) this year, nearly 200 more than in 2006, reflects recent increases in medical school enrollment. Results from the 2007 Match also showed a significant increase (9 percent) in the number of participants who are graduates of non-U.S. medical schools.
This year, 27,944 applicants vied for one of the 21,845 first-year residency positions available; 15,206 of these applicants were U.S. medical school seniors, 93 percent of whom matched to a residency program.

New Schools Will Help Alleviate Physician Workforce Shortages
With the addition of COM Mesa of AT Still University of Health Sciences, in Mesa, Arizona; the Debusk College of Osteopathic Medicine of Lincoln Memorial University, in Harrogate, Tennessee; and the TOURO College of Osteopathic Medicine in New York City, a new wave of future osteopathic physicians (DOs) will be prepared to help meet the nation’s increasing health care workforce shortage.
These three schools (slated to admit their first class in Fall 2007); two additional schools in the states of Washington and Colorado (planning to open in 2008); and the growth in class sizes at the existing colleges all will help strengthen the osteopathic medical field’s ability to provide high-quality health care to patients nationwide. And with osteopathic medicine’s special focus on primary care, especially in rural and urban underserved areas, we will be able to have a greater impact on the U.S. population’s health and wellbeing.
