National Resident Matching Program (NRMP)

The National Resident Matching Program (NRMP) is a system in the United States designed to help medical school graduates secure residency positions in hospitals. Each year, these graduates choose where they would like to train, and hospitals rank the candidates they want to hire. The NRMP then uses a computer algorithm to match students with hospitals based on these rankings. This process ensures that residents get positions in their preferred specialties while hospitals fill their vacancies with qualified candidates, ultimately promoting a fair and organized entry into the medical profession.
