Match Results

On March 16, 2012, 95 members of the class of 2012 learned where they will enter residency. Wright State students matched in outstanding programs in 17 different medical specialties, ranging from anesthesiology, family medicine and pediatrics, to neurology, otolaryngology and urology. They matched in prestigious programs in Ohio and across the country, including at the Cleveland Clinic Foundation, Stanford University, New York-Presbyterian University Hospital, University of Pittsburgh Medical Center, Mount Sinai Hospital and the University of Chicago Medical Center.

The number of Wright State graduates choosing to enter primary care jumped substantially, with those choosing family medicine up 82 percent over 2011. This is significant because the number of U.S. medical students entering family practice training programs has dropped more than 50 percent over the last decade, while the need for family practice physicians has continued to grow.

More than one third of the Wright State graduates will remain in Ohio during residency, and more than half (52.6 percent) will enter a primary care field (Family Medicine: 22.1 percent; Internal Medicine: 17.9 percent; Internal Medicine-Pediatrics: 2.1 percent; and Pediatrics: 10.5 percent). The rest matched in 12 other specialties: Anesthesiology: 5.3 percent; Dermatology: 1.1 percent; Emergency Medicine: 14.7 percent; Neurology: 1.1 percent; Obstetrics and Gynecology: 4.2 percent; Orthopaedic Surgery: 1.1 percent; Otolaryngology: 2.1 percent; Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation: 1.1 percent; Plastic Surgery (Integrated): 1.1 percent; Psychiatry: 6.3 percent; Radiation Oncology: 1.1 percent; Surgery-General: 7.4 percent; and Urology: 1.1%.
