Match Day 2025
St. George’s University Match Day 2025 Match Day is a monumental occasion for all aspiring doctors—the moment they discover where they are going for residency training. Through the basic sciences, through clinical training, they have had their sights set on this date for quite some time.
Residency Success At St. George’s University
St. George’s University has over 23K+ graduates in medicine who follow the philosophy of global education and apply their education at home and abroad. SGU graduates are pursuing professions or further education in over 50 countries around the world. They establish themselves in rewarding careers, having been enriched by their world network of colleagues and lifelong friends gained at St. George’s University. As part of their postgraduate training, medical students do a residency: additional training in a clinical setting such as a hospital or clinic. The majority of SGU medical graduates are US citizens or permanent residents, and therefore seek residency training in the US.

Wardrobe
- The Match Day t-shirt in your celebration kit is a great choice.
- Your white coat is another way to showcase your achievement.
- Professional clothing is also an option. Use of color with shirts/tops is ideal. Try to avoid fluorescents and black and white. Polish and color win the day.

Background
-
Be aware of your background. Remove any potentially distracting or unwanted items from the shot.
-
Have the background lit with some lamps or pull back the curtains from your windows if the room is dark. Ideally, don’t take the photo with a window right behind you as the camera will struggle with lighting.
-
Make sure light is coming from behind the camera toward your face. Always be aware of your surroundings. If filming at your home make sure pets and children aren’t in the frame. When on location at an office or hospital keep patients and staff out of frame.

Framing & Camera Positions
- Always make sure you are in the center of the frame.
- Provide both vertical and horizontal options when taking both still images and motion videos (when possible).
