“It was my first choice,” Torralba said. “Definitely a lot of hard work.”
Nationally, there were approximately 50,000 people, including medical students and international doctors coming to the U.S., applying for residency programs.
Most of the medical students graduating from Boonshoft will be spread across the U.S. For the others, about 45% of them will be staying in Ohio with 20% staying in the Dayton region, said Dr. Gregory Toussaint, interim dean of the Boonshoft School of Medicine.
