NRMP and Graduate Medical Education
In August all fourth year students register for the National Residency Match Program. Students may withdraw later only if they are accepted into an Armed Forces residency program or if they decide to postpone entering into a PGY-1 residency. The following tentative calendar gives an idea of the way in which the NRMP process unfolds during the student’s fourth year.
