About the National Resident Matching Program Board of Directors

The National Resident Matching Program (NRMP) coordinates the residency match process for applicants and allopathic residency programs. Five organizations sponsor the NRMP: the American Board of Medical Specialties (ABMS), the American Medical Association (AMA), the Association of American Medical Colleges (AAMC), the American Hospital Association (AHA), and the Council of Medical Specialty Societies (CMSS). Each year, the NRMP conducts a Match that is designed to optimize the rank ordered choices of students and program directors. The NRMP Board directs the policies and procedures that govern the Match process, including defining the structure and timing of the Match, setting fees, and developing and communicating participant responsibilities. The AMA has one medical student representative on the NRMP Board.
