    The time zone setting applies to your Interview Calendar and Event List. By default, the NMS Match System assigns you a time zone of Eastern Time.

    You should update the time zone to correspond to the location of where you will be during the interview event(s).

This ensures accurate scheduling and avoids any confusion regarding event timings.

    If your partner does not identify you as their partner, your rankings will be treated as if you are an individual applicant in the MedPhys Match.
