After the M.D.— Residency & Beyond

quote about matchOf 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.

In the 2007 match, 44 percent matched in a primary care field (Family Medicine, Internal Medicine, Internal Medicine/Pediatrics, or Pediatrics); the balance matched in 12 other specialties ranging from Anesthesiology to Urology. About one in five chose residencies in the Greater Dayton area. Half will remain in Ohio, while the rest will start their residencies in 19 other states ranging from New York to California.
