WASHINGTON, June 28,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- The National Resident Matching
Program® (NRMP®) has published
its annual Main Residency Match Results and Data report for
Main Residency Match participants, stakeholders, educators, and
policymakers focused on graduate medical education. The
comprehensive data report documents training outcomes by specialty
and applicant type and highlights trends in applicant match rates
and applicant preferred specialty. The report also provides
outcomes related to the Match Week Supplemental Offer and
Acceptance Program® (SOAP®), a service
offered to applicants who remain partially or fully unmatched after
the matching algorithm is processed.
"A core aspect of NRMP's mission is the development and
distribution of data reports like Main Residency Match Results
and Data that inform national conversations about the
transition to residency and advance understanding of the matching
process and outcomes," says NRMP President and CEO Donna L. Lamb, DHSc, MBA, BSN. "We recognize
this is a highly anticipated and utilized resource for Match
stakeholders, and we are pleased to provide it to the medical
education community."
New This Year – Applicant Placement Rate. For the first
time, the report includes not only the applicant Match Rate, which
is the percentage of active applicants (applicants who submit a
certified rank order list of programs) who matched to post-graduate
year one (PGY-1) positions when the matching algorithm was
processed, but also two new placement rate metrics. These two new
metrics reflect training outcomes for all applicants in addition to
active applicants and encompass placement achieved not only during
the matching algorithm phase of the Match but also during SOAP. "We
are excited to expand the data offerings in the Main Residency
Match Results and Data report" continues Dr. Lamb. "Placement
Rate metrics reveal the full scope of positions obtained during the
transition cycle and provide a "full spectrum" look at the outcomes
of all applicants participating in the transition to residency
process, not only those who match. Refining and enhancing the
content of the report reflects a commitment on the part of the NRMP
to ensure its resources provide insights that are meaningful to the
community."
Enhanced Reporting. Along with the new placement rate
metrics, several new data tables have been added to the report,
helping to expand its breadth and utility. Specifically, the report
now offers separate tracking of the outcomes and experiences of
U.S. MD seniors, U.S. DO seniors, U.S. citizen international
medical graduates (IMGs), non-U.S. citizen IMGs, MD graduates, and
DO graduates on several key metrics. (Note. Due to the
disaggregation of the data, table numbers may differ from those
reported in the 2024 Advance Data Tables.). New data tables
include:
- Match Summary statistics for MD graduates, DO
graduates, U.S IMGs and Non-U.S. IMGs (Tables 1C-1F)
- Number of PGY-1 Positions per Active Applicant for U.S. DO
seniors (Table 5)
- Positions Offered and Number Filled by MD graduates, DO
graduates, U.S IMGs and Non-U.S. IMGs (Tables 7C-7F)
- Positions Offered and Percent Filled by MD graduates, DO
graduates, U.S IMGs and Non-U.S. IMGs (Tables 8C-8F)
- MD graduates, DO graduates, IMGs and Non-U.S. IMGs Matched
to PGY-1 Positions by Specialty, 2020 - 2024 (Tables 10C-10F)
- Placement Rate (Table 18 and 19)
The inclusion of new tables in Main Residency Match Results
and Data ensures primary-source data about applicants,
specialties, and training outcomes remain accurate and
comprehensive in order to support the next generation of
participants as they prepare for future Match cycles.
