On March 20, 2026, medical students across the United States learned where they will complete their residencies—an important and meaningful milestone in every doctor’s training. Residency is the final stage of medical education, when new physicians refine the hands-on skills required for their specialty while caring for patients under the graduated supervision of experienced physicians. During their last year of medical school, students apply to residency programs across the country, and at 9 a.m. PST on Match Day, they learn where they will spend the next several years of their training.

This year, we are delighted to welcome 11 trainees to the University of Washington Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation Residency Program Class of 2030!
