How accurate is our data?
Updated over 4 months ago

At Match A Resident, we are committed to providing residency applicants with the most accurate and up-to-date information available. Our data accuracy is a cornerstone of our service, helping you make informed decisions during the residency application process.

Direct Data Collection

An important part of our process is that we do not rely on any program websites or public databases to update our information, as they are often outdated, inconsistent, or inaccurate. Instead, we collect the information ourselves through a rigorous process:

  1. Email Communication: We start by emailing all residency programs to gather their latest requirements and details.

  2. Follow-Up Calls: Our trained team of Update Agents follows up each email with as many direct phone calls to the programs as necessary to verify and update all criteria.

This extensive updating process is time-consuming and requires significant effort, but it ensures that our information is as accurate and current as possible.

Multiple Data Points

We collect multiple data points for each program to provide a comprehensive view. This includes information on:

  • Application deadlines

  • Minimum score requirements

  • Visa sponsorship policies

  • Interview preferences

  • Program-specific criteria

Why Accuracy Matters

Accurate data is crucial for:

  • Targeted Applications: Ensuring you apply to programs where you meet the eligibility criteria.

  • Efficient Use of Resources: Saving time and money by focusing on the most suitable programs.

  • Informed Decisions: Making strategic choices based on reliable information.
