Secure Competitive Residencies

Did you know that 97%* of eligible SUSOM MD program participants between 2022 and 2025*  attained residency placement positions?

Every year, our students obtain residencies in  competitive programs at teaching hospitals and medical centers across the U.S. and Canada. SUSOM students have secured residencies in various medical specialties, including anesthesiology, family medicine, internal medicine, neurology and surgery (just to name a few). 

To help our students achieve their placement goals, we offer a variety of learning resources and opportunities to help them develop the knowledge, skills and scientific reasoning abilities needed to excel in the most rigorous residency training programs. These include:

  • Extensive Student Support Services, including Faculty Advisors, the Learning Center, academic coaching, student counseling and much more.
  • The gross anatomy laboratory, where MD students learn with real human cadavers, allowing them to conduct detailed studies of the human body.
  • Our Research: Literature Review and Analysis (RLRA) program, which is a multi-semester experience that challenges students to refine research questions, design comprehensive database searches and critically evaluate key evidence.

The reason why I lean towards Saba for prospective students would be it’s not just that you get an amazing education, the costs are much more reasonable than they are at some other schools. You’re still going to be set up in a great place to succeed and... achieve your dreams.

What distinguishes Saba from other schools is the curriculum. It's a school that has been there for many years now, and has years and years and years of success in producing great doctors who have been working all over North America, including Canada and the United States.

We were blessed with really amazing faculty that I thought were really invested in our growth and learning, even beyond the medical science, as people. The small class sizes, which was honestly one of my favorite parts about Saba, made me feel seen and heard.
