While most fourth-year medical students eagerly anticipate Match Day in March, several student doctors from the Sam Houston State University College of Osteopathic Medicine (SHSU-COM) have already secured their residency placements through the military’s Health Professions Scholarship Program. These students, who have committed to serving in the U.S. Armed Forces, will begin their next phase of medical training at military medical centers across the country after graduation.
Jiahong Yang will go to a preliminary year in Family Medicine at Camp Pendleton with the U.S. Navy.
Kelsey Hu will be working in Internal Medicine at San Antonio Uniformed Services Health Education Consortium with the U.S. Army.
Paxton Martin will spend a transitional year at the Naval Medical Center in Portsmouth Virginia with the U.S. Navy.
Roxanna Mota will spend her residency in Anesthesiology at the Naval Medical Center in Portsmouth with the U.S. Navy.
Each of these students represents the dedication and service-driven mission of SHSU-COM. Their success in the Military Match is a testament to their hard work and passion for medicine, and will undoubtedly inspire future medical students considering military service.
