San Jacinto College partnered with Turner Industries Group, an industrial contractor company, to support students enrolled in the college’s welding program through industry-based instruction, according to a March 24 news release from the college.

What you need to know: The collaboration provides students with exposure to job site conditions through industry-informed scenarios, supporting the development of both technical and workplace skills.

How it works: The partnership with Turner includes their participation in advisory meetings and curriculum reviews, as well as support from safety, operations, workforce development and fabrication teams, helping ensure students are trained according to industry standards.

On March 20, student doctors at Sam Houston State University’s College of Osteopathic Medicine celebrated Match Day and learned where they would go for their residencies.

Some context: Student doctors interview with residency programs across the country, and submit a ranked list of the residency programs where they’d like to train, COM Dean Thomas Mohr said. The residency programs also rank the students they’ve interviewed, and after the preferences are processed, student doctors are paired with residency programs.

By the numbers: According to a March 20 news release:

• COM’s residency placement rate exceeded 99%.
• Almost 66% of student doctors will remain in Texas for their residencies.
• A little over 51% of student doctors matched into primary care specialties such as family medicine, internal medicine and pediatrics.
• 26% of student doctors matched into emergency medicine.
