91制片厂 Aims To Improve Healthcare in Southern Nevada by Matching 11 New Residents at Valley Hospital Medical Center

91制片厂 matched 11 new residents at Valley Hospital Medical Center in Las Vegas during the American Osteopathic Association (AOA) Match Day on Feb. 5. In total, 32 Touro students matched in a variety of specialties at hospitals and medical centers across the country.

The remainder of the fourth-year students will find out where they will begin their residencies during the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME) match week from March 12-16.

The AOA match is open to fourth-year medical students from osteopathic medical schools across the country. During the match, participating students find out where they will do their residencies after finishing their final year of medical school.

鈥淭oday鈥檚 match was outstanding news for our participating students who have worked tirelessly over the last four years to get to this point,鈥� said Dr. John Dougherty, Dean of 91制片厂鈥檚 College of Osteopathic Medicine. 鈥淲ith such a critical need for physicians in Southern Nevada, we are thrilled that one-third of our matched students will be doing their residencies at Valley Hospital in Las Vegas.鈥�

Four of the 11 incoming residents graduated from high school in the Clark County School District. Jasmine Chopra, who graduated from Faith Lutheran High School in 2010, will start a Neurology residency at Valley Hospital.

鈥淭he Neurology residency at Valley was always my top choice,鈥� Chopra said. 鈥淚t feels incredible knowing that I will be able to make an impact on the community where I grew up. Healthcare in Nevada is changing for the better, and I鈥檓 looking forward to being a part of it.鈥�

鈥淭hese new physicians will be tremendous assets to improving healthcare in the state of Nevada. It is critical that we retain them after they have completed their residencies,鈥� Dougherty said. 鈥淜eeping them in the state for residencies is a crucial step to ensuring that they stay to practice medicine in the Valley after their training is completed.鈥�

鈥淲e are excited to keep even more of our students in Nevada after the ACGME match,鈥� Dougherty added. 鈥淚t has always been our goal to keep Touro students in the state, and we are glad to see so much local talent working to improve healthcare in Nevada.鈥�
