At Match A Resident, we prioritize providing you with the most accurate and up-to-date information regarding residency program requirements. Our update process is thorough and takes place annually to ensure the highest level of accuracy.
Annual Update Process
Our updates are conducted between July and September each year. During this period, we contact residency programs directly (call and email) to obtain their latest requirements. This approach ensures that we are not solely relying on potentially outdated website information.
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process is that we do not rely on any program websites or public databases to update our information, as they are often outdated, inconsistent, or inaccurate.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:
Email Communication: We start by emailing all residency programs to gather their latest requirements and details.
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.
Why Data Might Appear Outdated
If you notice that some program data appears outdated, it is likely because the programs have not yet finalized their requirements for the upcoming application cycle. We strive to update our information as quickly as possible once programs provide their finalized details.
