Announcement of Match Results

The NRMP releases specialty match results information to all enrolled program directors, registered applicants, and institutional officials on match day via the web through the Registration, Ranking, and Results (R3) System. The procedures for the announcement of match results are described below.

Beginning at noon eastern time on Match Day, applicants, program directors, and institutional officials may use their AAMC IDs and passwords to access the match results and associated reports via the web.

  • Applicants will find out whether they matched and, if so, to which program. Match results information also is available to applicants by calling the NRMP office at (202) 862-6077 or 1-866-617-5834.
  • Program directors will know who matched to their program as well as the number of unfilled positions, if any, via the Confidential Roster of Matched Applicants, found under the "My Reports" option on the left bar menu.
  • Institutional officials may gain access Match Day reports under the "My Reports" option on the left bar menu.

    Also posted to the web at noon eastern time on Match Day are:
    • The List of Unfilled Programs, displays a list of available positions for unmatched applicants.
    • List of Unmatched Applicants, displays a list of potential candidates for programs that went unfilled.
    • Match Outcome for All Programs by State, displays the number of positions offered and filled for all programs in the Match.
    • Match Results Statistics, provides detailed statistical information about the programs, positions, and applicants in the Match.
    • Match Results by Ranked Applicant, displays the match results for each applicant ranked by the program; the NRMP's confidentiality policy restricts it from releasing information about how specific applicants ranked specific programs.

Shortly after Match Day, programs will send letters of appointment and associated contracts to their matched applicants. The format and content of this documentation is determined by the individual program.

Programs and applicants are bound by the Fellowship Match results. According to the SMS Match Participation Agreement Section 5.0, the ranking of an applicant by a program or of a program by an applicant establishes a commitment to offer and accept an appointment if a match results. Such appointments are subject to the official requirements and other published policies of the organization in effect on the date the program submits its rank order list and are contingent upon applicants meeting all of the eligibility requirements imposed by those policies. Failure of an applicant or a program to honor the match commitment is a violation of the Match Agreement signed during registration, and penalties may be levied by the NRMP if a violation is confirmed.

Reports of any violations of this policy should be directed, in writing, to:
