U.S. News and World Report evaluated residency placement rates at medical schools throughout the United States. The report found that the University of New England College of Osteopathic Medicine was among the top 10 medical schools in the nation where students were most likely to match with their first-choice residency programs.

According to the report, more than 60 percent of UNE COM graduates from the Class of 2016 were admitted to their first-choice residency program. The top ten list includes medical schools at some of the nation’s most prestigious institutions such as Stanford University, Columbia University and the University of California – San Diego.

“UNE COM's innovative, integrated curriculum, coupled with our early adoption of entrustable activities and our strong clinical campus system create an environment where students can develop into the kind of physicians residencies want,” said UNE COM Dean Jane Carreiro, D.O.
