Policy Tips and Reminders for Match Participants 

Each year, thousands of applicants, programs, and medical schools participate in the Main Residency Match®. The National Resident Matching Program® (NRMP®) is committed to ensuring a transparent and fair process for all participants. 

To help uphold these shared standards, the NRMP has released a new resource, Policy Tips and Reminders, to help applicants, programs, and medical schools navigate their Match responsibilities with confidence and integrity.  

Each handout outlines key responsibilities, rights, and best practices throughout the recruitment, ranking, and onboarding phases to ensure an ethical and transparent Match process for all. 

Explore the handouts to ensure you are aligned with Match policies and obligations.
