residency match

The residency match is a process where medical school graduates are paired with hospitals to complete their specialized training. After finishing medical school, graduates apply to residency programs in their chosen field, submit applications, and participate in interviews. They rank their preferred programs, and hospitals rank their preferred candidates. A computer algorithm then matches applicants to programs based on mutual preferences, aiming to create the best overall fit. This system ensures an organized, fair placement process, enabling new doctors to begin their practical training in hospitals where they'll gain essential hands-on experience.
