New York Institute of Technology College of Osteopathic Medicine at Arkansas State University enjoyed a 95 percent match rate and a 97 percent placement rate through the National Residency Matching Program (NRMP).
“Match Day is our favorite day of the year because it’s the culmination of a tremendous amount of work by our students, faculty and staff,” said Shane Speights, D.O., dean of NYITCOM at A-State. “This is the day our students dream of when they’re accepted to medical school, and it’s such a joy to watch them celebrate with their family and friends as they learn where they match. We are all extremely happy for each of them and proud of them.”
Medical schools across the country celebrated Match Day, an annual event through which soon-to-be medical school graduates learn where they’ll perform their post-graduate specialty training, known as residency.
The Class of 2026 is the seventh class for NYITCOM’s Arkansas campus, which opened in 2016 through a private-public partnership with Arkansas State University. In total, 96 NYITCOM at A-State student doctors participated in Match, with an initial Match rate of 95 percent and a total placement rate of 97 percent.
