Share this story
Recently, students in the EnMed program – a collaboration between Texas A&M University’s School of Engineering Medicine and Houston Methodist – were matched as part of the National Resident Matching Program with residency programs for the second consecutive year. Thirty-four students were matched with residencies.
We are so incredibly proud of our Class of 2024 matching with residencies all over the U.S.! They worked so hard over the last four years and to see their efforts come to fruition was indeed a momentous occasion.
Amy Wright, Ed.D, MBA
Director of Educational Partnerships
This summer, 75 medical students were matched with Houston Methodist and will begin their first year as residents. Of the new residents, 60 are graduating from U.S. medical schools, including 38 new residents from Texas medical schools. None of the residency programs required the Supplemental Offer and Acceptance Program to fill spots.

The Texas A&M University Health Science Center Partnership (TAMU HSC) team of the Houston Methodist Hospital worked alongside the Preclerkship team of the Texas A&M University School of Engineering Medicine (EnMed) to ensure a successful MATCH Day event for the Class of 2024 EnMed Medical Students. Stations were created for the team to divide and conquer, before, during, and after the event.
Marquee letters and a balloon arrangement was being set up for the EnMed Class of 2024 MATCH Day event at the TMC3 Helix Park. This was used as a place for students to take pictures after discovering which residency programs they matched to.
Guest arriving to the EnMed Class of 2024 MATCH Day event at the TMC3 Helix Park. This seating area was for the students and their families. The students would walk across the stage to receive their MATCH letter, as their name was called, then return to their seats and wait until 11AM to open their letters together – this is the time that letters are opened across the nation.
“I MATCHED!” signs were provided for each student to fill in their specialty and institution information, after opening their letter. Students took pictures with their personalized signs and took them home as a keepsake. Customized MATCH cookies were also provided as a sweet treat for each student!
The MATCH Day event ceremony was being presented by the Dean of School of Engineering Medicine, Roderic I. Pettigrew, PhD, MD, and the Assistant Dean of Student Affairs of School of Engineering Medicine; and Director of Educational Partnerships within Houston Methodist Hospital, Amy Wright, MBA, EdD.
