NRMP’s Annual Stakeholder Conference

The National Resident Matching Program® (NRMP®) annual stakeholder conference, Transition to Residency: Conversations Across the Medical Education Continuum, was born from an idea in 2014 a place should exist where both UME and GME professionals could network and discuss the transition to residency. NRMP leadership realized The Match was uniquely qualified to create an environment where stakeholders from both sides of the aisle could share and learn from each other.

Throughout its 10-year tenure, the NRMP’s Transition to Residency meeting has engaged thoughtful plenary speakers and curated meeting content around key themes including:

Innovation in the Transition

The focus and function of undergraduate and graduate medical education has changed significantly over the past 5–10 years.  As a community we must stay increasingly attuned to how curriculum, clerkships, residency application, and recruitment must progress and advance to promote the success and well-being of young physicians during and beyond their training. 

Technology

The role of technology in health care is constantly evolving and is fundamentally changing the face of medical education, assessment, and residency recruitment. How technology interacts with, even enhances education, training, and practice are critical concepts to understand. 

Wellness

The rigors of medical education and residency training can take a toll on the physical, mental, and emotional well-being of learners.  Efforts to understand the scale and scope of student and trainee stress and better recognize the collective realities and dangers of physician burnout are a priority. 

Advocacy

Shifts in the political landscape leave indelible marks on medical education.  It’s important to maintain awareness of legislative directives that potentially challenge medical student and resident educators and their efforts to diversify their cohorts and foster greater equity as well as student and resident decisions about specialty and career paths.

Mark your calendars! 2025 NRMP Annual Conference!
