2025 Match Day Celebrates EnMed Residents

small_white_down_arrow.svg
A collaboration between Houston Methodist and Texas A&M School of Engineering Medicine (EnMed) recently celebrated, for the third consecutive year, Match Day. The EnMed Class of 2025 experienced a 100 % match rate on Match Day, which is held on the third Friday of March every year at the TMC3 Helix. Forty-seven EnMed students were matched to residency programs across the country through the National Resident Matching Program. The residents learn where they will train for residency and their specialty. The top specialties were Internal Medicine, Radiology Diagnostic, Family Medicine, Surgery, and Anesthesiology. EnMed operates in close collaboration with Houston Methodist Hospital and the Texas A&M University Colleges of Medicine and Engineering, with a goal of transforming healthcare through translational interdisciplinary research, the development of transformative medical technologies, and the formation and training of “Physicianeers.”
The level of curiosity our EnMed students have is above the average for a medical student. Curiosity about problem-solving and innovation is exactly the sort of engineering aspect that we're trying to incorporate into medicine. The EnMed students have a fundamentally different way of thinking about a medical problem—thinking as problem-solvers, they see medical issues through the lens of an engineer in a very methodological way.

Boone added, “These students are also driven by community service. They are always finding places to plug in to do community service and help the underserved.” “After four years of blended engineering and medicine curriculum throughout their pre-clerkship, clinical rotations during clerkship, and finding time to innovate and perform engineering immersions, our EnMed students reached their pinnacle,” said Amy Wright, EdD, MBA, Associate Dean of Student Affairs and Admissions and former Director of Educational Partnerships at Houston Methodist. “I couldn’t be prouder. Great job, Class of 2025!”
