    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.

    “Don’t ever forget why you pursued medicine… residency is hard but extremely rewarding. The days go by slowly but the years will pass quickly. Enjoy the ride, keep doing the hard work and trust the process.”

    “This is a pivotal time in your life-but at the same time, just one short period in a span of so much. This alone doesn’t define you. Take what you can learn from every moment and use it to become the best physician and human you can. Don’t lose site of the person you were before all of this and the person you ultimately want to become. This will keep you grounded.”

    “Be a hard worker, show up on time (early), be dependable, be yourself. Learning the medicine is the easy part. Being a good person, being professional and accountable cannot be taught.”

    The first three months will be a learning curve to your program’s processes, procedures, and EMR down, so give yourself some grace. In months four to six, you’ll settle in, become efficient, and imposter syndrome will start to fade. Intern year is challenging, but it gets easier. By the end of the year, you’ll be more confident in your ability to make decisions and care for patients.

    “Do your best to carry out any tasks as efficiently and competently as you can. Be curious about any abnormal findings. It’s your job to sound the alarm if something is off and investigate. Eat well, exercise, get enough sleep, and don’t neglect your friends & family. This is all about finding balance as you get better at your practice. Most of all, enjoy yourself and have fun. You’ve finally arrived!”

    “First and foremost congratulations, what you have achieved is truly monumental. Do not think of residency as a destination or finish line. This is a new and equally demanding challenge and adventure that will push you to your limits and be reward you equally. Enjoy the hustle-both ups and downs-you will one day look back upon it with nostalgia.”

    • 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 icon
    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.

    • 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).
