The NRMP uses a computer algorithm, developed in 1952 by Nobel Prize-winning economist Alvin Roth, to place students in the program that they prefer. Each residency program at a hospital has a fixed number of first-year positions that they can fill each year based on their accreditation. Leading up to the big day, each student lists in order of preference the residency program that he or she seeks to work with and each residency program then ranks its applicants in order of its own preferences.
鈥淢atch Day is a momentous occasion for our students and their families, friends, colleagues and mentors,鈥 said , M.D., senior associate dean of student affairs and 澳门六合彩历史记录 in 澳门六合彩历史记录鈥檚 College of Medicine. 鈥淢embers of our class of 2018 have placed in some of the most prestigious institutions across the country and in some of the most competitive specialties in medicine.鈥
The NRMP expects the 2018 Main Residency Match to be the largest in history, exceeding the more than 43,000 applicants who registered for the 2017 Match and the more than 31,000 positions offered last year. Results of the Main Residency Match are closely watched because they can predict future changes in the physician workforce.
