Q&A for Internal Medicine on the Voluntary Program Rank Order List Lock Pilot
NRMP’s Chief of Staff, Olivia Orndorff, and representatives from Internal Medicine recently hosted a Q&A on the Voluntary Program Rank Order List (ROL) Lock pilot.
This recording features a Q&A session on the Voluntary Program ROL Lock pilot, an initiative launching in the 2026 Main Residency Match® for programs in Internal Medicine, Pediatrics, and Vascular Surgery specialties. This pilot makes it possible for the NRMP and participating programs to explore the merits of a voluntary functionality that would allow programs to “lock” their rank order lists in the NRMP’s Registration, Ranking, and Results® (R3®) system.
