The Basics of Applying to Residency

What is the Match?

The residency match is an application and selection process by which current fourth-year medical students and graduates investigate institutions for potential residency and fellowship positions. Likewise, the institutions are also interested in identifying good candidates for their open positions. 

National Residency Match Program

Our students are eligible to participate in the National Residency Match Program® (NRMP®) for ACGME-accredited programs. A match is identified using a computerized mathematical algorithm to align the preferences of applicants and programs.

Military Match 

Military students participate in the Joint GME Selection Board military match program unless approved for civilian sponsored or civilian deferred status. Military residency applications are submitted through the Medical Operational Data System website.

Students interested in ophthalmology and some plastic surgery programs participate in the SF Match

Students interested in urology participate in the Urology Residency Match Program.
