March 24, 2025 – For the second consecutive year, California Health Sciences University (CHSU) has announced a 100% residency match rate for its medical students during the 2025 Match Day.
The 109 fourth-year medical students at the university have continued the extraordinary match results achieved by the inaugural class of 2024 graduates.
Students in the CHSU College of Osteopathic Medicine class of 2025 celebrated with friends and family on Friday, March 21, when they learned their residency specialty programs, which they will begin after completing medical school.
Dean of the College of Osteopathic Medicine, Dr. John Graneto, expressed his excitement regarding the achievement. “We are incredibly proud that our CHSU College of Osteopathic Medicine class of 2025 achieved an impressive 100% residency placement, continuing the legacy of our inaugural class,” he stated.
The university provided statistics regarding these placements, revealing that 21% of the residencies are within the Central Valley and 50% are in California overall.
Dr. Graneto emphasized the importance of these placements, sharing, “Having CHSU students complete residencies locally is an important part of our mission and will help improve access to health care in our community, especially the underserved populations.”
The hospitals with the highest number of residency matches for CHSU students this year are all located within California, including Kaweah Health Medical Center, Riverside Community Hospital, UC San Francisco – Fresno, St. Joseph’s Medical Center, and Sutter Roseville Medical Center.
These CHSU students have significant work ahead of them. After completing medical school and earning a Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine (DO) degree, they will be required to pass a final board licensing exam. Their residency programs in hospitals, clinics, and health centers will provide specialized training before they can practice independently.
Notably, 60% of graduates will complete their residency in Primary Care, pursuing fields such as family medicine, internal medicine, and pediatrics. Dr. Graneto shared that this is particularly relevant given the critical need for primary care in the Central Valley.
Other residency specialties matched by CHSU students include Dermatology, Neurology, Obstetrics/Gynecology, Pathology, Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation, and Urology.
Regardless of their chosen fields, these graduates are contributing to a promising future for healthcare in the Central Valley as they embark on their residencies.
