How is the NRMP program code determined?
If you still have questions, our team is available to assist you. Contact us for additional support.
Every program participating in an NRMP Match has a unique 9-11 character code constructed in the following manner:
- Characters 1-4: the institution code
- Characters 5-7: the ACGME specialty code
- Character 8: program type letter
- Characters 9-11: track number (track number will be “0” unless an institution has more than one program in a specialty of the same program type. Additional track designations are automatically numbered sequentially)
Example: 1000140C0
| Characters | Description |
|---|---|
| 1000 | National Medical Center |
| 140 | Internal Medicine |
| C | Categorical program type |
| 0 | Main track |
