National Resident Matching Program (NRMP)
The National Resident Matching Program is responsible for administering an orderly and fair method of placement for most first postgraduate year (and, in some instances, later postgraduate years) medical residency positions. After the application and interview process, the NRMP uses a mathematical algorithm to match applicants and programs to their most preferred selections to make the best possible match for all participants. Securing a residency position through the NRMP results in a binding contract between the applicant and the residency program.
Positions in a few specialties are filled via specialized matching services outside of the NRMP.
Medical Licensure
The licensing process, fees and granting of reciprocity vary among states. Prior to graduation, students should check with the appropriate state medical licensing board regarding the state process and law. The number for the Indiana State Licensing Board is (317) 232-2960.
