The University of Texas at Tyler School of Medicine had another successful graduate medical residency 鈥淢atch Day鈥� this year filling 63 slots with new resident physicians and 10 fellows who will start their medical training throughout East Texas July 1.
鈥淢atch Day is not just a culmination of years of hard work and dedication, but it is also a day that holds great significance for the East Texas community,鈥� said Dr. Brigham Willis, School of Medicine dean. 鈥淭hese new doctors will be the next generation of health care providers who will serve our region, and their impact will be felt for years to come.鈥�
Completing a residency is a requirement to obtain a no restrictions license to practice medicine. Residency is the post-graduate training of those who complete medical school. During this time 鈥� three to seven years depending on the program 鈥� doctors are trained in a specialized area of care under supervision of an attending physician or consultant.
The school matched for the first time in three fellowship programs: cardiovascular diseases, gastroenterology and hospice & palliative medicine. The school also will welcome an inaugural class for the Transitional Year Residency program. As the residency programs continue to expand, more doctors throughout the health system will be taking on teaching roles.
