AUC School Of Medicine Residency
98% First-Time Residency Attainment Rate for 2023-2024 Graduates*
Preparing our students to attain a medical school residency placement is one of AUC’s highest priorities. Each year, AUC graduates apply for and obtain residencies in a variety of postgraduate training programs throughout the United States and Canada.
*First time residency attainment rate is the percent of students attaining a 2024-25 residency position out of all graduates or expected graduates in 2023-24 who were active applicants in the 2024 NRMP match or who attained a residency position outside the NRMP match. The current rate for 2025 is 94% as of Apr 22.
Increasing Rates Each Year
Each year, hundreds of AUC graduates receive the news that they have matched at leading hospitals across the United States and Canada. The match rate is the percentage of applicants who secure a residency through the National Resident Matching Program® (NRMP®). The residency attainment rate includes all students who obtain a residency, whether through the NRMP, SOAP®, CaRMS, or other programs.
First-time residency attainment rate is the percent of students attaining a residency position for the 12-month period starting July 1 of the indicated year, out of all graduates or expected graduates during the immediately preceding year who were active applicants in the indicated year’s NRMP match or who attained a residency position in the indicated year outside NRMP match.
2024 Residency Placements
Each March, AUC students join thousands of graduating medical students in the United States and abroad in discovering where they will begin their careers as physicians.

Residency Placement FAQs
A med school residency takes place after the completion of medical school and gives newly degreed doctors the hands-on opportunity to further practice and hone their skills before they are licensed to practice medicine.
No, medical school graduates must earn a residency via an application process, as well as completing residency interviews, and rank order lists. AUC has a history of residency attainment. Review our residency placement lists for the most up to date information on location and specialties.
Residencies are earned, not given. Eligible students must apply for a residency. The process can be complex but our blog, What is Match Day, explains the process.
In the US, to work as a practicing physician (ie. seeing patients), a residency is required after medical school. If working in patient care is not for you, then there are nonclinical roles that you can pursue without completing a residency.
You can not complete your residency while in medical school. During your third and fourth year of medical school, you will perform clinical rotations, also known as clerkships. Rotations are assigned shifts in clinics and hospitals during which medical students are able to practice medicine in a supervised manner. During rotations, medical students perform patient interviews, examinations, and deliver care as part of a supervised team. Rotations last several weeks and students must pass standardized tests known as shelf exams to advance.
The match rate is the percentage of applicants who match with a residency program through the National Resident Matching Program® (NRMP ®). The residency attainment rate is the percentage of all students who obtain a residency position. This can include residencies obtained through the NRMP, Supplemental Offer and Acceptance Program ® (SOAP®), Canadian Resident Matching Service (CaRMS), among others.
The match process used by NRMP, is an award winning algorithm that pairs applicants with their preferred residency programs. Students in their fourth-year of medical school submit a rank order list of their preferred programs to the NRMP. The NRMP then matches the applicants’ lists with the lists of preferred applicants created by the residency programs. On Match Day, which is held during the third week of March each year, students find out if they have been successfully matched with a residency program.
No– if a student enters the match and does not match with a residency program, they can apply to an unfilled residency position through the The Supplemental Offer and Acceptance Program, SOAP®. The Match Week SOAP is the process for offering positions that are unfilled after the matching algorithm has been processed to eligible unmatched and partially matched applicants.
NRMP policy states that if any of an institution’s programs participate in the Main Residency Match, all of the institution’s programs must offer positions to U.S. MD and U.S. DO senior students through the Main Residency Match or another national matching plan.
U.S. medical school graduates and students and graduates of international medical schools can be offered positions outside of the Main Residency Match provided it is in a program that does not participate in the Match and thus not subject to the All In Policy. No applicant can accept a position outside of the Match after the Rank Order List Certification Deadline.
