Go to top 6: How well do BUSM students do on national exams and in the Internship Match (NRMP)?
• In recent years, the pass rate among first-time takers at BUSM has been 92-95%. The mean scores for BUSM students are also consistently above the national average. • In each of the last several years we have conducted a survey of our graduating students who participated in the match. By their own report, 85% matched to one of their top 4 choices, and 92% were satisfied or very satisfied with the results of the Match. Each year, a number of graduating BUSM students (15-25 per year) choose to pursue their internship and residency within the BU system. Considering the national reputation of many of our post-graduate training programs, this speaks well both for the students and the training programs. • BU students have, for many years, been considered strong candidates for the most competitive post-graduate training programs. The scope of clinical training at BUSM is widely recognized as outstanding preparation for a rigorous internship and residency.
