Stanford University Medical Center participates in the National Resident Matching Program (NRMP) for all PGY I positions. The purpose of the NRMP is to match all medical students and other applicants with hospitals to obtain internships and residencies.
Applicants submit a confidential list to the NRMP ranking their desired place of residency. Participating hospitals also enter a confidential list of those most desired applicants. On a uniform date (mid-March) all of the applicants and hospitals are informed of the results of the match.
The NRMP sends rank order list information to the Director, Office of Graduate Medical Education starting in July of each year. Rank order lists are entered by individual programs into the NRMP system.
Lists are subject to the approval of the Director of the Office of Graduate Medical Education.
The results of the match are delivered to Program Directors on the date specified by the NRMP. Programs are not allowed contact with successful applicants until the national announcement of the match has taken place. Programs are expected to submit a recommendation of appointment form via the Stanford web-based program for all matched PGY I applicants to the Office of Graduate Medical Education within 48 hours of the match announcement. The Office of Graduate Medical Education will send employment contracts to all matched house staff within ten working days of receiving the recommendations of appointment.
Graduates of programs accredited by the LCME may participate in the match. Foreign medical school graduates who have a valid E.C.F.M.G. certificate may enroll as independent applicants.
Rank order lists are to remain confidential. Any agreement or contract offered by an enrolled hospital or program prior to the Match Date will be superseded by the results of the NRMP match.
