Residency Matching Opportunities
Once you fulfil the unique curriculum components and 3 Phases of the Accelerated Pathway program’s requirements within three years, you qualify for training in one of the University of Miami/Jackson Health Systems’ residency programs. Based on this accomplishment, participating residency program directors will rank you highly for residency matching. Currently, 18 specialty residency programs participate in this match.
If you do not secure a residency position during your third year, you will transition into the Miller School’s four-year medical scientist training program and will enter the main Match process to secure your residency position.
