• When is the registration deadline?

  It is recommended that you register to participate in the APPCN Match by January 15, 2024, although registrations will be accepted after that date.

  The final deadline to register to participate in the Match is February 14, 2024. However, programs require a significant amount of time to review applications, conduct interviews, and evaluate applicants. Most programs submit their Rank Order Lists for the Match well before the final deadline listed above. Therefore, to ensure you are properly considered and able to be ranked by programs, you should register well before the final deadline.
