For the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine’s Class of 2025, Match Day marks the beginning of an exciting new chapter. After years of rigorous study, hands-on clinical experience, and mastering essential skills, the 198 medical students finally discovered where they will complete their training as resident physicians.
This year’s class was highly competitive and earned a 100 percent placement rate, matching in 24 specialties at programs throughout the country, including Johns Hopkins University, Yale, Stanford, Columbia, Weill Cornell, and Washington University. Twelve Miller School students matched into residencies in the Harvard medical system, which includes Boston Children’s Hospital, Mass General Brigham, and Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center.
Each student will graduate with a scholarly concentration or a dual degree, a hallmark of the NextGenMD curriculum. More than 50 students will graduate with an M.D./M.P.H., 10 with an M.D./M.B.A., and 15 with other dual medical degrees.
“One of the best parts of my time at the Miller School was working alongside incredible role models—students, residents, and faculty—who have shaped my path in medicine,” said Julia Telischi, who matched into ENT at Mass General Brigham. “I am especially grateful for the outstanding mentorship and teaching from the ENT department, where faculty consistently supported my goals and fueled my excitement for the field. I know I will continue to be inspired by them throughout my career.”
The Class of 2025 excelled in other national standards, as well.
