UCF medical student Zachary Self hadn’t decided on a specialty for his medical career – until he cared for patients at the Orlando VA Medical Center. This experience inspired him to enter the U.S. Army, and he will be doing his internal medicine residency at Fort Eisenhower, an Army Installation in Augusta, GA.
Self is one of four UCF College of Medicine who matched early into residency programs ahead of the national Match Day this Friday.
Abigail Miller matched into ophthalmology at Louisiana State University. She loved science and was considering becoming a Ph.D. but decided to become a physician after working in hospice care.
Shirley Ke will do her military general surgery residency at Naval Medical Center Portsmouth in Virginia. She is graduating from medical school the same year her brother graduates from the U.S. Air Force Academy.
Aliya Centner, who joined UCF’s medical school alongside her twin sister Safia, will be training ophthalmology at the University of Kentucky, where her parents did their medical school training.
