Congratulations to the 14 UMass Students who matched to Family Medicine Residencies on Match Day, March 21! This represents 10% of the 2025 UMass Match, which surpasses the national average among allopathic medical schools (7.9%). This was a tough year for family medicine nationally: the number of slots (5379 at 817 programs) was at a record high, but only 85% spots filled. For more information about the match nationally, please see this brief article or this analysis and call to action from the AAFP. Every match in family medicine is the product of countless moments with all of you in clinic, in the classroom, and in the community. Thank you for role modeling all of the different ways family doctors serve our patients and communities, and for the time and teaching that you offer our learners.
