NRMP News and Reminders
Research Brief: Content Evaluation of the NRMP Applicant Survey: Reflections on Process and Lessons Learned
This Research Brief outlines the findings from a NRMP initiative to engage in a comprehensive assessment of its surveys, identifying which pieces of the surveys are most critical and valuable to constituents versus those that might convey limited information or be redundant. The goals of these efforts were to maximize the information obtained from the surveys, and potentially inform changes to the surveys in the future, while also being considerate of respondent burden.
Introduction to the Fellowship Match Webinar Recording
The NRMP hosted an Introduction to the Fellowship Match webinar and the recording is posted on the website.
The webinar provides an overview of Match processes and policies. It covers specific topics such as program staff roles and responsibilities, managing the program’s participation in the Match, ranking applicants, and policy information. This is a biannual webinar for fellowship programs. Another session will be provided this winter for programs associated with a Fellowship Match that opens for registration in early 2024.
