Portsmouth Regional Hospital Accepts 24 New Residents on 2023 Match Day

Portsmouth Regional Hospital (PRH) accepted 24 new residents to its Family Medicine, Internal Medicine, and Psychiatry residencies recently on what is known in academic medicine as Match Day. The new residents will begin their programs on July 1, 2023.

“Each year, we receive more and more applicants for our residency programs, which demonstrates just how valuable our new program is for our future physicians,” said Dean M. Carucci, market president of HCA New England Healthcare. “This is an especially exciting year as our first class of Family Medicine and Internal Medicine residents will graduate in June, and four of these residents were accepted into our fellowship programs to continue their training. It's well known that the country is facing a shortage of healthcare providers, and we're proud to have stepped up to help train and educate tomorrow's physicians and physician leaders.”

The family and internal medicine residencies, which are both three-year programs, received accreditation in 2020 from the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME). The first class will graduate this spring. The psychiatry residency's four-year program was accredited by the ACGME in 2021. The first class in the psychiatry residency will graduate in 2025.

The residents come from 22 medical schools, 12 states, and four countries outside the U.S.: Canada, Jordan, India, and Syria. Following are the 24 residents accepted to the program in 2023:
