The College of Osteopathic Medicine of the Pacific, COMP-Northwest, and the College of Podiatric Medicine celebrated Match Day on Friday, March 18, 2022.
Match Day is celebrated across the U.S. as fourth-year medical students learn which U.S. residency programs they will train in for the next three to seven years. Each college held online Match Day ceremonies, with each student given the opportunity to share which residency they matched into.

“All the WesternU family, and especially the College of Podiatric Medicine, are so proud of you and your accomplishments and we congratulate each one of you on the program with which you have matched,” said CPM Dean V. Kathleen Satterfield, DPM, FACPM. “As the Dean, I am so proud of every one of you and I wish you remarkable success.”
"May you always have resiliency, tenacity purpose and courage. May you always remember at the end of every action, there is a patient," said COMP and COMP-Northwest Dean Paula Crone, DO '92. "May you embrace your destination, wherever your match may be taking you, and know that you are needed where you are going and that you are going where you are meant to be."
