Today, medical students across the country learned where they will begin residency training. Each year, Match Day pairs graduating medical students with nationwide residency programs.
This year, Sutter Health will welcome 221 physicians into residency and fellowship programs for the 2026 academic year, filling 100% of available training positions across the organization.
Dr. Lindsay Mazotti
“Match Day is the culmination of years of hard work and anticipation for medical students,” said Dr. Lindsay Mazotti, chief medical officer of medical education and science at Sutter Health. “It’s a defining moment for new physicians and we are honored the next chapter of their training will begin at Sutter.”
Expanding Training Pathways
Today, nearly 400 residents and fellows train across 30 ACGME-accredited programs at Sutter. These programs span internal medicine, surgery, family medicine, neurology, gastroenterology, hematology-oncology, pulmonary-critical care, obstetrics and gynecology and more. Residents train alongside physicians who lead in their specialties, receiving hands-on experience and guidance to deliver compassionate, evidence-based care.
By the end of 2027, Sutter expects to train approximately 575 residents and fellows across 39 accredited programs. By expanding training opportunities across Northern California, the system aims to help close care gaps in both rural and urban communities as it continues to grow its GME footprint into 2030 and beyond.
