*RUSM has a first-time residency attainment rate of 96%, calculated as the percent of students attaining a 2025-26 residency position out of graduates or expected graduates in 2024-25 who were active applicants in the 2025 NRMP match or who attained a residency position outside the NRMP match. AUC’s first-time residency attainment rate for 2024-2025 graduates and expected graduates is 95%. SABA’s four-year residency placement rate of 97% is calculated as the percent of students attaining a residency position out of all graduates or expected graduates in 2020-21, 2021-22, 2022-23 and 2023-24 who were active applicants in the NRMP match or attained a residency outside the NRMP match.

SGU’s US residency placement rate of 94% pertains to graduates over five years from 2021, 2022, 2023, 2024, and 2025 with the rate calculated as the total number of students/graduates who obtained a US residency divided by the total number of students/graduates who applied to a US residency program in a given year as of April 2025.
Congratulations to fourth-year student Jiddu Guart, who earned first author credit for his published study, Postoperative Quality of Life in Patients with Hidradenitis Suppurativa Utilizing the Hidradenitis Suppurativa Burden of Disease Tool in the Cureus Journal of Medical Science.
Jiddu’s interest in surgery began as a child when his mother, a nurse, shared stories of the amazing feats surgeons accomplished at her hospital. However, it wasn’t until his surgical rotation that his desire to pursue surgery was solidified.
While at Mount Sinai in Chicago, Jiddu collaborated with plastic surgeons at the University of Illinois at Chicago to study the postoperative quality of life in patients with hidradenitis suppurativa, a dermatologic disease with high chronicity and recurrence rates.
“Patients with hidradenitis suffer, not only physically, but psychologically on a daily basis,” said Jiddu, “It’s hard for surgeons to make evidence-based recommendations when taking quality of life into account because data in this area is lacking.”
An aspiring surgeon, Jiddu hopes to continue quality of life research to bridge this gap and ease the daily burden that patients with hidradenitis experience.
