Residency Match
LKSOM graduates secure impressive residencies, a fact that is often attributed to its reputation for providing superior clinical experiences. Temple / St. Luke’s students are no exception. The low ratio of students to attending physicians together with the high degree of responsibility provides Temple/St. Luke’s students with outstanding preparation for residency training.
Temple / St. Luke’s students have matched to residency programs in a broad range of specialties – view our list. Most of the programs are with university affiliated hospitals and are widely distributed geographically.
“When I was applying to medical school, I was given the advice ‘Go to the place where the residents and attendings are the doctors you want to become.’ It’s thrilling to know I am going to be one of those doctors at St. Luke’s.”
– Julia Tolentino, Class of 2015 and St. Luke’s General Surgery Resident
Match Day is an annual rite of passage for medical students, a day when they learn at which residency programs they will train for the next three to seven years. “National Match Day is truly a milestone for every medical student across the country,” says Dr. Joel Rosenfeld, MD, M.Ed, FACS, Chief Academic Officer, St. Luke’s University Health Network. “This is the day when medical residency programs match with their highest-ranked medical students, and medical students learn where they will continue their medical training as residents.”

Success!
Matt Rae celebrates with his wife and daughter.
CJ Kidd from Hellertown is all smiles – he has matched at Walter Reed for Neurology.
Dr. Rosenfeld congratulates Jonathan Hunt.
The waiting is over!
Brittney Giuffre
Hometown: Hasbrouck Heights, NJ
Brittney is a trailblazer – the first in her family to graduate from college as well as the first in her family to attend medical school. She appreciates what it’s like to be a patient – having been one herself after sustaining a back injury years ago – and is conscientious of her own “bedside manner.” As a doctor, Brittney aspires to convey empathy, and to communicate to patients in layman’s terms they can understand. She’s particularly interested in emergency medicine, which she likens to detective work since it requires piecing together a patient’s story, sometimes from just a few clues.
Jonathan Hunt
Hometown: Framingham, MA
Jonathan wants to deliver babies. His inspiration? Working as a white water river rafting guide. In both rafting and childbirth, he explained, “you have an unpredictable situation that you have to navigate.” Just as he guided rafters through Class V rapids, as an OB-GYN doctor he will lead mothers through their pregnancies and, ultimately, through childbirth. Jonathan’s, fiancée, a medical student at Temple, is also matching. They are hoping for a “couples match” – residencies in the same city or area, if not the same hospital.
Charles “CJ” Kidd
Hometown: Hellertown, PA
Unlike other students, CJ knew before Match Day where he was headed – to the Walter Reed National Medical Center in Bethesda, Md. That’s because he attended medical school on an Army scholarship, and in return he owes four years of service to Uncle Sam. CJ said he was drawn to the Army partly by patriotism, partly by a sense of adventure. He knows that as an Army doctor he can expect to serve at least one or two tours of duty overseas. His girlfriend, Yamini, is a fellow medical student who will be hoping to match somewhere nearby.
Matthew Rae
Hometown: York PA
Matthew came to medicine by way of sports. A collegiate football player, he became intimately acquainted with orthopedics after suffering injuries on the field. The experience opened his eyes to the possibility of career in medicine. After an internship at his hometown hospital, he knew he wanted to become a doctor. Matthew said he was attracted to the smaller medical school class sizes at St. Luke’s. He and his wife, an elementary school teacher, also found the Lehigh Valley to be a great place to start a family. They reside in Bethlehem and had their first child, Sawyer Lynn, a few months ago.

Dr. Rosenfeld shares in Match Day excitement.
Janel Paukovits
Hometown: Northampton, PA
Specialty: Emergency Medicine
Janel was a risk-taking, mischievous child who was no stranger to the receiving treatment in the emergency room. “I hope I never forget what it’s like to be the patient,” she says.
Jay Fuletra
Hometown: Northampton, PA
Specialty: Urology – Early Match to Milton S. Hershey Medical Center, Hershey, PA
Jay has chosen urology as his specialty because it combines his two passions: surgery and medicine. “My hope is that I never forget that there is a person, a family, behind every disease,” he says.
Christopher Cann
Hometown: Northampton, PA
Specialty: Internal Medicine
“I want to be able to treat the whole patient, to show the compassion and empathy for what they are feeling and at the same time relate to him or her as a human being,” Cann says.
