Marian University's Tom and Julie Wood College of Osteopathic Medicine marked a notable achievement as its students participated in the 2025 Match Day. This event marked a pivotal moment for graduating medical students across the country as they discover where they will begin their residency training.
Now in its ninth year of graduating physicians, Wood College achieved a 100% placement rate, with all students securing placements in medical residencies across Indiana, the Midwest, and beyond. Match Day, administered by the National Resident Matching Program of the Association of American Medical Colleges, occurs annually on the third Friday in March at medical schools nationwide.
Marian University marked the occasion with a celebratory event, “Confetti and Cheers to Our Careers,” which brought together students, faculty, staff, and families at the Indiana Roof Ballroom to recognize this pivotal step in the students' medical careers.
