Residency Placements for 2022

2022 Match Day infographic, text reads: 62 students, 39 applications, 33 students matched, 4 students post-matched, 37 students going to residency.

With the post-match process coming to a close, we wanted to recognize all of our students who will be starting a residency this year. Of the applicants who applied for residencies, we had a 95% success rate in matching this year!

Below you will find a list of our students from the Class of 2022 and the programs they matched to. Additionally, Armaeiti Fouladi and Shazib Haq from the Class of 2021 matched with the Palo Alto VA and the Casey Eye Institute Cornea and Contact Lens fellowship, respectively.

Congratulations everyone on your success and the next step in your journey!
