In the 2008 National Resident Matching Program, the 9 participating Baystate Medical Center residencies had a 100% success rate in categorical resident matches. "The success of all of our programs in the match underscores the attractiveness of our residency programs and of Baystate as an academic medical center," says Hal Jenson, MD, the Designated Institutional Official for Baystate's graduate medical education programs.
Overall, 28,737 applicants vied for one of 22,240 first-year residency positions—the most first-year residency positions in history with 395 positions added this year. Of those applicants, a record-high 15,242 were U.S. medical school seniors, and 94.2% successfully matched to a residency program. In fact, 84.6% of those seniors matched to one of their top three program choices.
New Residents & Fellows Begin Orientation June 28 and Start Their Programs July 1
Each year Baystate welcomes approximately 100 new trainees in 9 residency programs and 15 fellowships. This next year's group of residents comes from 27 medical schools in 19 states (15 outside New England), including 4 from Tufts University School of Medicine.
General orientation for these new residents and fellows begins Friday June 28, 2008, with orientation in each Program on June 31, 2008. They start their new programs on July 1.
