Withdraw From the Match

The 2024 ASHP Match


Things to Know

If you will not be submitting a Rank Order List for any reason, you must withdraw from the Match.

If you did not match to a position in Phase I, you will be able to withdraw or reinstate yourself for Phase II of the Match. Applicants who withdraw from Phase II of the Match will not be matched to a position. However, withdrawn applicants are permitted to seek positions in the Post-Match Process.

  • Applicants who withdrew from Phase I of the Match are permitted to participate in Phase II. They are able to access information on programs with positions available in Phase II, apply to those programs, and submit a Rank Order List for Phase II of the Match.
  • Applicants who withdraw from Phase II of the Match are permitted to participate in the Post-Match Process after the results of Phase II of the Match are released.

If you are currently withdrawn, but decide that you want to submit a Rank Order List for Phase II of the Match, you must Reinstate yourself in the Match using the NMS Match System before the Phase II Rank Order List deadline.

Withdrawing from the Match

If you do not intend to submit a Rank Order List for Phase II of the Match, you must withdraw from Phase II before the Phase II Rank Order List deadline. If you withdrew from both Phase I and Phase II of the Match prior to the Phase I Rank Order List deadline, there is nothing further you need to do; your withdrawal will be carried over automatically to Phase II and you do not need to withdraw again from Phase II.

Applicants who withdraw from Phase II of the Match, or from both Phase I and Phase II, are permitted to participate in the Post-Match Process after the results of Phase II of the Match are released.


Implications of Withdrawing

If you withdraw from Phase II of the Match, you will not be matched to a position. Any rankings of programs you may have submitted will not be used in the Match.

If you have withdrawn from Phase II, your withdrawn status will be visible to programs.

Withdrawing from the Match does not affect your eligibility to participate in the Match in future years.

If you submit a Rank Order List for Phase II and do not withdraw by the Phase II Rank Order List deadline, your rankings will be included in Phase II of the Match. If you are matched with a program, you must accept the position with which you are matched as described in the Applicant Agreement and the ASHP Match Rules. Violations of the policies of the Match will be reported to ASHP.
