Match Day in March is also an exciting time for Graduate Medical Education (GME) in the School of Medicine. For 2009, all 20 OHSU programs participating in the Match filled their open slots for a total of about 150 new incoming residents. Each program commonly has a significant number of applicants. Pediatrics, for example, had 650 applicants and interviewed 131 for 13 positions. Internal Medicine had 1,482 applicants and interviewed 286 for 31 positions, while Surgery had 860 applicants and interviewed 134 for 17 positions.
Within days, many of these seniors eager to start the next step in their career were contacting the Dean’s office to gather information about housing, the city and the hiring process. The majority of new residents and fellows will arrive sometime in June for institutional and programmatic orientations and will begin training at the end of June. Approximately 80 additional residents and fellows will come to OHSU through programs not participating in the Match.
