UCSF School of Medicine Match Day 2025
On the morning of March 21, 2025, 180 graduating UCSF medical students gathered at the Koret Quad on the Mission Bay campus to celebrate Match Day—a defining milestone in their medical education journey. Surrounded by family, friends, and faculty, students opened envelopes that revealed where they will spend the next three to seven years in residency, marking the transition from medical student to physician-in-training.
Sixty-one percent of students matched into California residency programs, with 24% of students staying in UCSF. The top specialties this year, encompassing 56% of all matches, were Internal Medicine (18%), Anesthesiology (12%), Emergency Medicine (8%), Psychiatry (7%), Surgery (9%), and Obstetrics and Gynecology (5%). Twenty-seven percent of matches were in Primary Care specialties.
