2025 Anesthesiology Residency and Fellowship Matches

We are thrilled to have successfully matched 10 incoming PGY-1 interns and also fellows for the pain, pediatric and cardiac fellowships who will all be starting in our department in July!

For our residency program, our department had over 650 applications for ten PGY-1 positions, and approximately eighty of those applicants were interviewed. The fellowship programs also had wonderful interview seasons. Fellowship candidates interviewed virtually again this year but the residency applicants had an option of interviewing in person. We were able to recruit top candidates from across the country and are very excited to welcome all our new residents and fellows into the department.

The incoming residency class comes from diverse and accomplished backgrounds and will no doubt contribute in many different ways to our department. Our incoming class of PGY-1 residents includes Drs. Jeff Bassett, Doug Bethea, Justin Cantrelle, Edward Chen, Julie Cunningham, Chris Glasgow, Jacob Holbrook, Allie Kerby, Alyssa Martin, and Sumner Thomas. Four of these PGY-1s are from University of Mississippi Medical School.

Incoming fellows include Dr. Josh Irby (cardiac anesthesia); Dr. Daniel Valente (pediatric anesthesia); and Drs. Patrick Klar, Joseph Pongetti, Henry Soufi, Jack Tharp, and Tim Torres (off cycle/started this past January),

Congratulations to all, and welcome to the UMMC anesthesiology family!
