Bangkok, Thailand 24 April, 2025 -- St. George's University (SGU) School of Medicine in Grenada, West Indies announced that more than 1,035 of its students and graduates have secured residencies around the United States in the 2025 match cycle. This marks the 11th consecutive year in which SGU has been the largest provider of new doctors to first-year US residencies.
"The entire St. George's University community congratulates this remarkable class of medical students on their success," said Dr. Marios Loukas, Dean of the St. George's University School of Medicine. "This milestone represents the culmination of years of hard work, dedication, and resilience."
SGU students and graduates matched into residences in 20 specialties across 41 states and the District of Columbia. More students will find out where they will be doing residency training in the days and weeks to come. SGU has been a preferred destination for aspiring medical professionals from Thailand, with over 50 graduates and current students pursuing their medical education and contributing to the global healthcare workforce.
St. George's University graduates will begin residency programs in several highly competitive specialties, ranging from neurology and surgery to emergency medicine and pediatrics. Many will be returning to their home states or cities to begin their careers in medicine.
"Matching into my top-choice residency program was an overwhelming mix of disbelief and joy. As a non-US citizen applying to a highly competitive specialty, the journey was far from easy?but this moment made it all worth it. The Match process was intense, demanding both focus and resilience. Thankfully, I wasn't navigating it alone. SGU's Office of Career Guidance was an incredible resource?they helped me fine-tune my application, prepare for interviews, and stay confident throughout. Their support truly made a difference and helped turn a daunting process into a successful one," said Tanapol Phewpun, a Thai graduate from the Class of 2024.
"Each one of these matches marks the next step in a dream coming true, and we celebrate these students' achievements, and their determination to make a real difference in the world as the next generation of new doctors," said Dr. Loukas.
This new group of doctors will play a crucial role in addressing global physician shortages. SGU graduates have secured residencies in highly competitive specialties such as neurology, vascular surgery, diagnostic radiology, and more.
"We can't wait to see all the great things that this newest class of SGU graduates will accomplish," Dr. Loukas said.
