Features and Purpose:
Data-Driven Lists: 20 years in the making, Match A Resident's Customized Residency Program Lists are generated using sophisticated algorithms and metrics derived from extensive data collected over previous seasons. These algorithms analyze various factors to help applicants maximize their chances of securing interviews. The lists are tailored to reflect the most current trends and preferences of residency programs, ensuring that candidates receive up-to-date and relevant information.
Custom Filtering: The tool allows for the customization of program lists based on multiple criteria such as applicant type, USMLE scores, year of graduation, US clinical experience requirements, visa sponsorship (H1) and acceptance (J1), and more. This ensures that each applicant is matched with programs that align closely with their qualifications and career goals. The filtering process takes into account individual circumstances and preferences, making the search for suitable residency programs more efficient and targeted.
Comprehensive Information: Beyond the lists, users receive extensive additional information about each program. This includes detailed program highlights, insightful commentary on program strengths and weaknesses, access to the largest database of residency interview feedback, AI-generated insights and much more. These resources provide applicants with a deeper understanding of each program, aiding in more informed decision-making.
Compatibility Score: The lists feature a compatibility score for each program, calculated using various metrics to rank programs from highest to lowest. This score helps applicants identify the programs that best match their profile, allowing them to strategically decide the number of programs they can afford to apply to while focusing on their top choices.
2. Benefits:
Cost Savings: By helping applicants identify and apply to the most suitable programs, the lists can save significant amounts on ERAS application fees. Applying to programs that are a good fit reduces the likelihood of unnecessary expenses, which can be substantial if applying to numerous programs ($2000 per 100 programs).
Detailed Information: The Customized Residency Program Lists offer the largest and most detailed database of residency interview feedback available, along with additional AI-generated insights. This wealth of information empowers applicants to make well-informed decisions about where to apply, enhancing their overall application strategy.
