Members of Quillen College of Medicine’s class of 2023 enjoyed a 100% match rate. Graduates matched into 15 specialties in 20 states and the District of Columbia. This is the second year in a row that Quillen’s graduating class has received a 100% match rate.

Of the 73 students in the class of 2023, 49 are remaining in the Southeast, and 10 will remain in East Tennessee across six specialties. Twenty-three students will remain in-state, while nine others are going to residency in North Carolina. Five students will complete their residency training through military service.

More than half of the class will train in primary care specialties such as family medicine, pediatrics, internal medicine, and obstetrics and gynecology. Five students matched into anesthesiology programs; four each in surgery, diagnostic and interventional radiology, and psychiatry; three in orthopedic surgery; two in anatomic pathology; and one in otolaryngology.

“It’s a great day, one you should remember” said Dr. Bill Block, Vice President for Clinical Affairs and Dean of Quillen College of Medicine. “It’s an exciting time, and a big move for you and your families.”
