The Match
The 2022 Main Residency Match included 39,205 total positions, the largest number on record. Of those, 36,277 were first-year (PGY-1) positions, also the largest on record and a 3.1 percentage point increase over last year.

Internal Medicine - Seattle
[Stethoscope ceremony WWAMI. Photo by Clare McClean.]"We had an outstanding match," said program director Dr. Ken Steinberg. "The class is 54% women and it is also the most diverse group yet. Thirty-seven percent (37%) of the Categorical track is URM and 18% of the Primary Care track. This is incredible progress for our program that is becoming more and more diverse. We also matched 2 visiting scholars into our program (1 into primary care and 1 into categorical), 3 graduates from osteopathic medical schools, and 3 from new medical schools (2 from the new WSU and 1 from California University). In addition, there are 4 PhDs and 5 who have identified as future physician-scientists."

Internal Medicine - Boise
The Boise IM Residency program had a great match as well, and are excited to welcome their new interns:

Faculty news
In memoriam: Christopher Bryson
[cid:image043.jpg at 01D83AE9.FB13CF00]Dr. Christopher Bryson, emeritus associate professor (General Internal Medicine) passed away last week. A core investigator in the VA Northwest Health Services Research and Development Center of Excellence, he pioneered early efforts to measure medication adherence by using large, national, pharmacy databases and applied those metrics in pharmaco-epidemiologic studies of diabetes and cardiovascular disease. He also conducted important studies of quality of care and served as medical director of the Clinical Outcomes Assessment Program (COAP), a non-profit organization responsible for improving quality of care for PCI and CABG in the state of WA.

A memorial service is planned and details are forthcoming. The family has requested that donations in his honor be made to the Division of General Internal Medicine Research Fund (contact Michelle Lynch<mailto:lynchm at uw.edu>).

Gaining Perspective on Life During the Pandemic From Astrophotography
[cid:image044.jpg at 01D83AE9.FB13CF00]Growing up in Shiraz, Iran, the night sky awed Dr. Sina Gharib, professor (Pulmonary, Critical Care and Sleep Medicine). During the war with Iraq, cities would go dark at night to prevent aerial bomb threats. While this was undoubtedly a scary situation, he used it as an opportunity to admire the stars without light pollution.

When the pandemic hit and he found himself spending more time at home, he decided to finally pursue his interest in the night sky. He started in his backyard, connecting an 11-year-old camera to his telescope. Astrophotography also gave him time and space to reflect on the past years in the pandemic. "It makes me appreciate what I have and puts life into perspective," he said. "I'm less stressed or concerned about small things. The images from some galaxies are millions of light years away, so what we're seeing is looking back into history in some ways. It makes me appreciate the vastness of space and puts into perspective our troubles and difficulties, which in the big picture aren't really a big deal. We're not the center of the universe"

Research news
NIH All of Us Research Program releases genomic dataset
[Genomic data from a diversity of people]Almost 100,000 highly diverse whole genome sequences are now available through the National Institutes of Health's All of Us Research Program. About 50% of the data is from individuals who identify with racial or ethnic groups that have historically been underrepresented in research.

This data will enable researchers to address as yet unanswerable questions about health and disease. Such studies could lead to new breakthroughs and advance discoveries to reduce persistent health disparities.

"That not only means that we're generating the genotype and sequence data that scientists will use, and that will be returned to the participants, but we also are leaders in how that genotyping data will be used, what is important, and what is the best use of future data," said Dr. Gail Jarvik, professor and head (Medical Genetics). Jarvik has been involved with the All of Us project at the Northwest Genome Center since 2018.
