Matching Program Guidelines
Overview
The matching program provides a systematic process for matching resident applicants and residency sites with their
preferred match. The aim is to lessen the anxiety and uncertainty associated with being a wait-listed hoping to get an
offer, and decreases the time in determining residency matches. The process that will be used is described below.
Residency Program Hosts:
After interviewing and reviewing the applicants to their residency program, the resident selection committee at each of the
sites determines who they would accept into the program, and provide their ranking on a Residency Preference List (RPL).
The Residency Program Host can only list those candidates who have interviewed for the position.
Resident Applicant:
After consideration of all of the sites that s/he applied for, the applicant will submit his/her RPL. The RPL ranks the
all of residency sites that s/he would accept, regardless of the ranking
indicated. The candidate can list on their RPL only those residencies that the applicant interviewed for.
Residency Matching Committee:
The residency matching committee reviews the
from all of the candidates and the affiliate sites, and proceeds in
matching the sites with their preferred match. The process is quite straightforward and can be demonstrated in the
following way.
Site
Selection based on Site RPL (in descending
order of preference)
Candidate
Selection based on Candidate RPL (in
descending order of preference)
Site A
Candidates 1, 3, 2, 6
Candidate 1 Sites A, C, D, B

Candidate 4 Sites E, A
Site E
Candidates 6, 5, 1
Candidate 5 Sites A, E, D, C, B
Candidate 6 Sites A, E, B
Ideally, the first choice candidate for the residency site would be the chosen first choice site for the candidate. As can be
seen above, Site A and Candidate 1 match.

3 preferences have all been matched according to the top preferences of the candidates. While Candidate 4
selected Site E as his/her top choice, Site E did not list Candidate 4 in their Preferred List. Therefore there is no match
between Site E and Candidate 4.
Candidate 6 will be matched with Site E. In this case Candidate 4 does not have a match.
Summary:
The Residency Matching Committee facilitates the process of the systematic matching of candidate and site preference
lists. It depends on the RPL to create the match.

Matching Program Guidelines
Overview
The matching program provides a systematic process for matching resident applicants and residency sites with their
preferred match. The aim is to lessen the anxiety and uncertainty associated with being a wait-listed hoping to get an
offer, and decreases the time in determining residency matches. The process that will be used is described below.
Residency Program Hosts:
After interviewing and reviewing the applicants to their residency program, the resident selection committee at each of the
sites determines who they would accept into the program, and provide their ranking on a Residency Preference List (RPL).
The Residency Program Host can only list those candidates who have interviewed for the position.
Resident Applicant:
After consideration of all of the sites that s/he applied for, the applicant will submit his/her RPL. The RPL ranks the
all of residency sites that s/he would accept, regardless of the ranking
indicated. The candidate can list on their RPL only those residencies that the applicant interviewed for.
Residency Matching Committee:
The residency matching committee reviews the
from all of the candidates and the affiliate sites, and proceeds in
matching the sites with their preferred match. The process is quite straightforward and can be demonstrated in the
following way.
Site
Selection based on Site RPL (in descending
order of preference)
Candidate

Candidates 1, 3, 2, 6

Candidate 4 Sites E, A
Site E
Candidates 6, 5, 1
Candidate 5 Sites A, E, D, C, B
Candidate 6 Sites A, E, B
Ideally, the first choice candidate for the residency site would be the chosen first choice site for the candidate. As can be
seen above, Site A and Candidate 1 match.

Site
3 preferences have all been matched according to the top preferences of the candidates. While Candidate 4
selected Site E as his/her top choice, Site E did not list Candidate 4 in their Preferred List. Therefore there is no match
between Site E and Candidate 4.
Candidate 6 will be matched with Site E. In this case Candidate 4 does not have a match.
Summary:
The Residency Matching Committee facilitates the process of the systematic matching of candidate and site preference
lists. It depends on the RPL to create the match.
