SUCCESSFUL MATCH DAY FOR CLASS OF 2001



Ayad Abrou and other students rejoice after learning where they will serve their residencies. 

Two hundred twenty-one members of the WSU School of Medicine’s Class of 2001 participated in the National Residency Matching Program. Despite the switch to an electronic notification process, most of the class learned of their fates simultaneously in the traditional, suspence-filled gathering in Scott Hall’s Blue Auditorium. This year, much of metro Detroit was able to witness the excitement as well, as cameras from WDIV Channel 4 were there to film the action for the evening news broadcasts.

This class’s match results perpetuate the School of Medicine’s mission by:

  • Demonstrating its commitment to excellence: 
    • 88 percent of the class received one of their top three residency choices.
    • The portion of the WSU Class of 2001 that matched was nearly 20 percent higher than the national average
    • Class members will serve at nationally renowned institutions, such as Johns Hopkins, Cleveland Clinic, Mayo Clinic, Stanford University Medical Center and Baylor University Medical Center.

  • Providing its community with welltrained, compassionate physicians:
    • More than 64 percent will remain in-state for their residencies.
    • Class members will serve at area hospitals, such as Beaumont, Providence, Henry Ford, St. John Hospital and Medical Center and the hospitals of the Detroit Medical Center. Additionally, a number of class members will serve in Michigan’s rural areas.


Dr. Robert Frank presents Aaron Berg the Penfil Award.

  • Continuing its commitment to providing primary-care physicians while still graduating students in leading-edge specialties:
    • Roughly half the class will serve in primary care residencies.
    • Of the remaining class members, residencies include those in areas of demand such as psychiatry, surgery and obstetrics and gynecology.

Individual honors went to Aaron Berg and Eric Warbasse, recipients of the annual Penfil Award for outstanding patient care. Assistant Dean Jane Thomas also informally recognized two graduating students, Peter DeYoung and Rajesh Viswanathan, for their early life-saving efforts.

DeYoung had his blood typed for bone marrow donation as a second-year student. He was called upon to donate shortly thereafter, effectively saving the life of a child before ever receiving news that he had matched in pediatrics in Grand Rapids.  


WDIV’s Roger Weber interviews Timothy Brundage.

Viswanathan, who matched in physical medicine and rehabilitation at Beaumont Hospital, was flagged down by a panicstricken mother on the side of the Lodge Freeway just a few days before Match Day. As he approached the car, Viswanathan saw that the woman’s young child was turning blue. Quickly assessing the situation, Viswanathan performed the Heimlich maneuver on the choking child, saving its life. 


Larry Benson and his wife, Wakeshi, smile after learning he will serve his family medicine residency at Henry Ford Health System. 

Of note this year, according to Dr. Jane Thomas, assistant dean for students affairs, was that nearly one-quarter of the 2001 graduates going into surgery are women. Seven WSU women in all are entering the traditionally male-dominated surgical programs. Also, nine graduates have obtained psychiatry residencies. This is a growing area of opportunity as doctors and researchers get more active in the social, political and economic concerns related to mental health. More public health attention is being focused on substance abuse, domestic and interpersonal violence, depression, violent acts by children and youth, abuse of the elderly, and other important issues.
