NRMP Transition to Residency Conference

The NRMP is pleased to announce the return of its national in-person stakeholder conference, Transition to Residency, on October 6 – 8, 2022 on Coronado Island near San Diego, CA.

The conference provides an opportunity for members of the medical education community, including learners, to network, collaborate, and have in-depth conversations about the transition to residency and opportunities for improvement and challenges it faces. We’re looking forward to seeing conference attendees in a few days and having meaningful discussions about improving the transition to residency!

Medical Schools: Upload Rising Seniors

Uploading Senior Medical Students Functionality Opened October 1

Medical school officials can track their student’s participation in the 2023 Main Residency Match by uploading directly to the Registration, Ranking, and Results^® (R3^®) system a list of rising seniors. As seniors register, this dynamic list allows school officials to follow up with unregistered students to ensure they register in advance of the deadline. Although voluntary, doing so also helps school officials prevent ineligible students from participating in the Match before they register. 

Support guides are available to assist school officials in uploading and managing their students in the Match.

Board Nominations Due November 1

A reminder that the NRMP Board of Directors is seeking nominations for the following seats:

• One director

• Two resident physician/fellow directors:
  • One must be a graduate of an international medical school
  • One must be a DO physician

• Two medical student directors

The NRMP’s 19-member Board of Directors is comprised of physicians, student doctors, residents, and public members. The Board of Directors meets three times a year, usually in January, May, and October. Additional day-long meetings and conference calls may be required for Board committee work.

Please review the Board Nominations page for information about qualifications, links to online applications, and directions for submitting nominee packets. Nominations are due by November 1, 2022.
