Match Day was celebrated Friday by the ACOM academic community. Students found out at precisely at 11 a.m. (Central Time) where they will continue their training after graduation.

The Alabama College of Osteopathic Medicine (ACOM) is proud to announce a 99.44 percent overall residency placement for the class of 2025.

“We are proud of the accomplishments of the ACOM Class of 2025 as they begin the next chapter in their medical training,” said James C. Jones, DO, FACEP, ACOM Dean. “This class continues the high standard of residency matches set by previous classes.”

Fourth-year medical students at ACOM participated in the residency placement process through either the National Residency Matching Program (NRMP) or the U.S. Military Match. The NRMP is a computerized matching system that aligns medical students with residency programs based on mutual rankings. The U.S. Military Match is a separate process for students who commit to serving in the military, placing them in residency programs at military medical facilities. Of the students who matched, 93 percent secured residency placements through the NRMP, while 7 percent matched through the U.S. Military Match, which was announced in December.

More than 50 percent of ACOM students matched into Primary Care programs, which includes Family Medicine, Internal Medicine, Obstetrics and Gynecology, and Pediatrics. Internal Medicine was matched the most by ACOM students followed by Family Medicine and Emergency Medicine.

2025 ACOM graduates will train in residency programs in 29 states. The top five states for ACOM students are: Florida, Alabama, Georgia, Ohio and Texas.
