Amarachi Ekeh-Clarke, MD
Avalon University School of Medicine played a key role in my residency match by providing strong clinical rotations in U.S. teaching hospitals, where I gained hands-on experience, exposure to the healthcare system, and valuable letters of recommendation. The curriculum ensured solid USMLE preparation, while dedicated mentorship guided me through the ERAS and NRMP Match process. Support with essential documents like the MSPE, along with mock interviews and alumni networking, helped strengthen my application and improve my chances of matching successfully.

Murtajiz Mehdi Raza, M.D.
Avalon played a pivotal role in helping me achieve a prematch position in psychiatry residency. The supportive faculty, strong clinical training, and diverse patient exposure allowed me to build the confidence and skills needed to succeed during the residency application process. Avalon pushed me to grow both academically and professionally while providing the mentorship and opportunities that helped me stand out as an applicant. I’m grateful for the foundation Avalon gave me as I take the next step in my medical career.

Dharav Patel, M.D.
I’m Dr. Dharav Patel, Avalon University MD Class of 2025 graduate from Toronto. After losing my father during COVID, I transferred to Avalon for its affordability and received exceptional hands-on clinical training with early resident-level autonomy, one-on-one mentorship, and intense rotations including 24/7 surgical shifts. The supportive administration helped me overcome challenges, leading to a residency contract on graduation day—I confidently recommend Avalon to anyone pursuing medicine.

Dr. Cristo Lamprakos
I’m Dr. Cristo Lamprakos, and I just matched into a competitive general surgery residency at the Marshall Clinic in Wisconsin. I’m thrilled I chose Avalon University —it gave me a strong foundation, intense rotations, and over 515 hours of surgical assisting. When money was tight, they scheduled my cores back-to-back to cut living costs dramatically. I challenge anyone to find this quality of education at such a great price. I feel very well-prepared for surgery and highly recommend Avalon!

Vansh Marwaha

Attending Avalon University SOM was one of the major and right decision we made. Smaller class size provided closer one on one contact with the professors, which certainly was helpful in education and teaching.
