    SGU Vets Rank High in VIRMP Matchย 

     News

    With their degrees in hand, St. Georgeโ€™s University School of Veterinary Medicine graduates are set to take on even more specialized training beginning in the spring. Forty-nine SGU-trained veterinarians will continue their careers in internship and residency positions according to 2021 match data from theย Veterinary Internship & Residency Matching Program (VIRMP).ย 

    SGU students and grads achieved a match rate of 72.1 percent, the highest among Caribbean veterinary schools. It also compares favorably to the 53.5 percent match rate for all schoolsโ€”including US schoolsโ€”according to the VIRMP, aย program sponsored by the American Association of Veterinary Clinicians (AAVC).ย 

    โ€œWe couldnโ€™t be happier for those who have decided to further strengthen their knowledge and skills through these postgraduate training opportunities,โ€ said Dr. Neil Olson, dean of the SVM. โ€œThese programs are welcoming excellent veterinarians who are committed not only to providing quality care for their patients, but to continuing to learn and grow as professionals.โ€ย 

    Beginning in June, the newly matched graduatesย will continue their training in fields such as diagnostic imaging, oncology, emergency medicine,ย and neurology/neurosurgery,ย among others. These positions are situated at such prestigious institutions as Cornell University, the University of Pennsylvania, and several other universities within theย SVMโ€™s network of clinical affiliates.ย ย
