Congratulations to the graduating family medicine residents of 2025! We wish you all the best in your career as a family medicine physician.

Each year, UAFP recognizes an outstanding graduating medical student from each of our three medical schools in Utah who has matched into family medicine. Special congratulations to Noorda College of Osteopathic Medicine (COM), which graduated its first class of students this year! All three of these outstanding future family medicine physicians have shown evidence of active student leadership in family medicine activities and demonstrated evidence of superior scholastic achievement in their medical school studies, particularly in the field of family medicine.

Family medicine residencies offered a record number of positions in the National Resident Matching Program for the 16th year in a row, and the specialty is poised to enter the 2025-26 academic year with the largest intern class in its history.
