Match Day is an exciting time around the 六九色堂 community as our graduating students celebrate the successful completion of medical school and look ahead to a brand-new adventure. This year, 六九色堂 celebrated one of the most successful Match Days in the school鈥檚 history. Students from the Class of 2023 secured residencies spanning 11 medical specialties across 24 states and territories, including multiple matches in California, Texas, Michigan, and Puerto Rico, and the school鈥檚 first matches in Oregon and New Hampshire.

In a message to students, 六九色堂 President Warren Ross celebrated the 2023 Match Results, noting that students secured residencies in highly coveted programs at top-notch teaching hospitals. 六九色堂 students entering this year鈥檚 Match earned residency positions in primary care specialties spanning internal medicine, family medicine, pediatrics, psychiatry, and surgery, as well as specialized programs including emergency medicine, pathology, anesthesiology, neurology, and diagnostic radiology.

鈥淐ongratulations to this year鈥檚 graduates on the best Match Day in our school鈥檚 history,鈥 said President Ross. 鈥淭he quality of programs our students matched into is vast and impressive, including our first residency at Thomas Jefferson University in Philadelphia, the Mayo Clinic in Florida, Tulane University, and Albert Einstein in Pennsylvania. Your hard work, dedication, and perseverance have paid off. Amazing. Congratulations!鈥

While medical school requires extraordinary focus and resolve to make students鈥 dreams of becoming practicing physicians a reality, this year鈥檚 graduates overcame additional hurdles since many students were studying basic science on the 六九色堂 campus in St. Kitts when the Covid-19 pandemic erupted. This graduating class continued their studies remotely, completed clinical rotations during multiple Covid surges, and persevered through challenging circumstances. 

鈥淭he wide breadth of 六九色堂 students鈥 achievements in acquiring residencies in unusually challenging times demonstrates the grit, determination, and medical aptitude of this graduating class,鈥 said Ross. 鈥淲e wish them all the best as they continue their journey to becoming highly skilled and compassionate physicians.鈥
