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.
ERAS®
ERAS® is an online application service designed to assist with the transmission of application data for the NRMP®. The majority of programs only accept applications through ERAS®. There may be a few programs that use independent applications. Check a program's website to confirm its preferred method of application.
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.
