NRMP and NBME Publish Report on Program Ranking Patterns

THE SHORT VERSION

The National Resident Matching Program (NRMP) and NBME have released a new report. The report covers a multitude of applicant characteristics. It details findings for all applicant characteristics examined across 21 specialties.

Study does not capture applicants who applied and were not ranked. Findings should be interpreted as describing applicants on rank order lists, not full applicant pool.

NRMP and NBME are committed to advancing transparency in residency selection process. Findings in this report can be used to assess applicants' likelihood of being ranked competitively.
