2025 ANNUAL REPORT / MATCH DAY SUCCESS 17
The Raymonds were two of 57 students( 51 %) matching in a primary care specialty – family medicine, internal medicine, pediatrics and obstetrics & gynecology – filling areas of greatest need in Florida and beyond.
Collectively, 52 of 113 graduates will be staying in Florida, a slight decrease from last year’ s 48 % and an indicator that even as Florida adds residency slots, more are needed. Studies show that physicians tend to set up practice within 50 miles of where they completed their residencies.
Class President Sean Wimberley, who had a 10-year career as a registered pharmacist, dates his affiliation with the FSU College of Medicine to his time as the PA program’ s Clinical Pharmacology IV course director.
“ There are thousands of students who wish they could be in our shoes today. Let’ s honor them— and ourselves— by becoming the very best physicians we can be,” Wimberley said,“ and by serving as proud ambassadors for the FSU College of Medicine and the mission that brought us here.”
