TO IMPLEMENT MATCH WEEK CHANGES
Supplement
Offer and Acceptance ProgramSM
The long-awaited Supplemental Offer and Acceptance Program
(SOAPSM) will be
implemented for Match Week 2012, when Match Day will move from the
third Thursday to the third Friday in March. Although the SOAP policies
are largely the same as those vetted with NRMP constituents over
the past three years, the Monday schedule has been slightly modified.
ERAS will open at 1:00 p.m. eastern time (rather than noon) so that
applicants can begin preparing applications that will be sent to
programs beginning at 2:00 p.m.
The new Match Week
Schedule is available, and a webcast about SOAP will be posted
to the NRMP website in January 2012.
The presentation given
by NRMP Executive Director Mona M. Signer at the 2011 Association
of American Medical Colleges Annual Meeting also is available.

TO IMPLEMENT "ALL-IN" POLICY
At its May 16, 2011 meeting, the NRMP Board of Directors voted
unanimously to require programs participating in the Main
Residency Match to place all positions in The Match. The
so-called "All-In" Policy will become effective for the 2013 Match
that opens for registration on September 1, 2012. The policy will
affect all PGY-1 positions and PGY-2 positions in advanced programs.
The NRMP will continue to accept comments on implementation of
the policy, especially as it relates to possible exceptions for
residents who enter training off-cycle, GME programs in rural and
geographically underserved areas, combined clinical-research programs,
and accelerated programs. Final implementation rules will be adopted
in May 2012. Read
how to submit comments to the NRMP.
SCHEDULE OF DATES FOR
THE 2012 MSMP!
The Alliance for Academic Internal Medicine (AAIM) and the fellowships
participating in the Medical Specialties Matching Program (MSMP)
have voted to move the MSMP schedule
of dates beginning with the 2012 Match for the 2013 appointment
year. Under the new schedule, Match Day will move from the spring
of the applicants' second year of training to the fall of the third
year, giving them more time to make decisions about fellowship choices.
The new MSMP dates are:
- Match Opens August 1, 2012
- Rank Order List Opens October 10, 2012
- Quota Change Deadline November 7, 2012
- Rank Order List Closes November 14, 2012
