National Resident Matching Program
The National Resident Matching Program (NRMP) is a system that matches medical school graduates with residency programs in the United States. It helps ensure that both the applicants and the residency programs find suitable matches based on preferences and qualifications. The process is crucial for new doctors to begin their specialized training.
Each year, thousands of medical students and graduates participate in the NRMP, submitting their rankings of preferred residency programs. The NRMP uses a computerized algorithm to match applicants with programs, aiming to create the best fit for both parties. This process is essential for the future of healthcare in the country.
