The 2023 Main Residency Match® was again the largest on record in the organization’s history with a record-high 42,952 applicants, as reported by the National Resident Matching Program®, which matches fourth-year medical students with hospital and universities to find the right “match” for their residency goals.
Southern Hills Hospital and Medical Center launched its Graduate Medical Education program in 2017 with the accreditation of its Family Medicine Program from the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME). Since that time, Southern Hills Hospital received approval from the ACGME to receive accreditation for Transitional Year, Psychiatry, and Neurology as well as Addiction Medicine and Gastroenterology Fellowships.
Under the Sunrise Health Graduate Medical Education Consortium, which includes Southern Hills Hospital, MountainView Hospital and Sunrise Hospital & Medical Center, multiple other programs also received accreditation including General Surgery, OB-GYN, Emergency Medicine, Anesthesiology, Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation, Psychiatry, Radiology Diagnostics, Neurology and four fellowship programs, Critical Care Anesthesiology and Endocrinology Diabetes and Metabolism.
ACGME is a private, non-profit organization that evaluates and accredits graduate medical education (GME) programs. A residency program specializing in a specific area is required for a physician to practice medicine, and is most influential in determining where a physician eventually practices.
