- 38% matched to Family Medicine residency programs including two in Kelowna (Rural) site and one in the new South Okanagan site based in Penticton.
- One graduate matched to the Kelowna Royal College Emergency Medicine Residency Program.
- 27% matched with primary care specialties (Internal Medicine, Pediatrics, and Psychiatry).

Our graduates will be heading across BC and Canada to begin their residency training in early July. They will spend the next two to five years completing their residency before entering practice.
