About the Match

A computer algorithm administered by the National Resident Matching Program "matches" students and residency programs together. Students spend months interviewing at hospitals and universities across the nation to find the ideal institutions that will best help them perfect their chosen specialties. The students then rank their top choices, and academic and community-based medical centers nationwide rank their top student choices. Residents are licensed physicians who care for patients under the supervision of attending physicians and represent the medical work force of tomorrow.
