AUA
Graduates Have Secured NRMP Residencies
GRADUATE
SUCCESS: As part of our mission in preparing students to
become successful U.S. physicians, AUA graduates have been highly
successful in securing U.S. residencies through the National Residency
Match Program. In 2007 and 2008 virtually all AUA U.S. eligible graduates,
with the exception of three, have obtained residencies. Those three
recent AUA graduates are currently involved with independent research
projects in radiology and internal medicine and plan on re-entering
the match in 2009.
The NRMP Main Match is set up to provide
impartial matching for applicants' preferences for residency positions
with program directors' preferences for applicants. According to
the NRMP website, “Each year approximately 16,000 U.S. allopathic
medical school seniors and 15,000 graduates of osteopathic, Canadian
or foreign medical schools compete for approximately 24,000 residency
positions.” This year, Of the 15,242 U.S. graduates, 14,359
won residency positions; 94%. More than one-fifth of the positions
available through the match this year were in internal medicine.
The NRMP is not an
application or job placement service. AUA applicants are required
to apply directly to residency programs in addition to registering
for the Match. Most programs participate in the Electronic Residency
Application Service (ERAS), which transmits residency applications
to program directors via the Internet. Applicants must register
with both NRMP and ERAS to participate in the services of each.
