Match Result Information Available in the NMS Match System
- A downloadable PDF Match Result Report which shows the applicants matched to your program, the number of positions offered and filled, and the results obtained by applicants ranked by your program. If your program offered more than one track in the Match, the results for all tracks are available in the report accessible from the Dashboard of any track that participated in the Match.
- A list of matched applicants which shows where each applicant who obtained a position in the Match was placed.
- A file of information on registered applicants who did not obtain a position.
You must send a letter of confirmation of the Match result to the applicants matched to your program within 10 working days of the release of the Match results. Applicants must return the letter in accordance with the program's instructions within 17 working days of the release of the Match results, not later than May 10, 2024.
Although NMS makes every effort to provide you with your Match result expeditiously, failure to receive your result in a timely manner does not affect your obligation to the applicants matched to your program.
Statistics
Post-Match Process (Unmatched Applicant Program)
Programs with available positions are permitted to fill those positions with applicants who did not match with a program. NMS is not involved in the filling of positions during the Post-Match Process.
List of Programs with Available Positions
A List of Programs with Available Positions is provided to unmatched applicants in the NMS Match System. Information on the list may be updated by Program Directors. Tracks and positions may be removed from the list as they are filled, or new positions may be added as they become available.

Instructions for Updating the List of Programs with Available Positions
Programs must log into the NMS Match System in order to update their contact information or the number of positions shown on the List of Programs with Available Positions. Programs that have a new position become available for the Post-Match Process should notify AGCPD/GCEA prior to adding the position to the list.
Initially, only programs that were left with unfilled positions will be shown on the list. Programs that did not register must contact NMS to get access to the Post-Match Process.
- Updating Contact Information: Changes to contact information are made in the Profile section of the NMS Match System. Contact changes will apply only to the List of Programs with Available Positions, and will not be reflected permanently in NMS records. Permanent changes to contact information after the Rank Order List deadline must be submitted to NMS in writing, not through the NMS Match System.
- Updating the Number of Available Positions: The number of Post-Match positions available can be changed from the Track Dashboard. Tracks can be added to the list by setting the number of available positions to a number greater than zero, or removed from the list by setting the number of available positions to zero.
The system will close for updates on May 31, 2024.

Information on Unmatched Applicants
All programs can access an Excel file with information on unmatched applicants from the NMS Match System. It is recommended that programs download a copy of the file, even if they currently have no available positions, in case a position becomes available in the future.
Programs are free to contact unmatched applicants to fill any positions that remain available after the Match. Programs may request that interested unmatched applicants complete an application, provide associated materials, and attend an interview. Programs may also ask the applicant for permission to talk to the programs where the applicant previously interviewed.
The NMS Match System will close for the Post-Match Process on May 31, 2024. Should a position become available after May 31, 2024, programs may request special access to the file of unmatched applicants from AGCPD/GCEA.
