After the M.D.— Residency & Beyond
Of course, you want a medical school that will prepare you well for clinical training in your chosen specialty. Since the Charter Class of 1980, more than 2,200 Wright State alumni have proven competitive, getting their top choices for residency programs in Ohio and across the country. Long-term studies indicate that 95 percent of our graduates are rated as equal to or better than their peers during residency training.
During your medical career at Wright State, faculty are available as mentors, advocates and advisors. Many of our clinical faculty members have volunteered to serve as advisors in helping you make a specialty choice — your career in medicine. They can provide invaluable information about their medical specialties, including application procedures, requirements, certification and training programs. A list of advisors divided by specialty is available for current Wright State medical students only.
Boonshoft School of Medicine had 87 graduating medical students assigned to residency programs through the National Resident Matching Program in 2008. Wright State graduates matched at prestigious residency training programs across the country including the Cleveland Clinic Foundation, Duke University in Durham, North Carolina, Johns Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore, New York Presbyterian Hospital in New York City and UCLA Medical Center in Los Angeles. Forty-five percent matched in a primary care field and the balance matched in 14 other specialties.
