Registration & Fees

  • When is the registration deadline?

    It is recommended that you register your residency site to participate in the APPCN Match prior to November 30, 2024, although registrations can be accepted after that date. You should register as soon as possible so your residency site can be added to the List of Participating Programs when it is posted on November 30, 2024, and applicants will know that your residency site is participating in the APPCN Match.

    The absolute final deadline to register for the Match is February 12, 2025. However, you should ensure that your residency site is registered well before the final deadline so that your residency site has enough time to collect applications, interview and evaluate applicants, and submit a Rank Order List. Furthermore, applicants will not be able to rank your program(s) until your residency site is registered for the Match.
