NMS Match System Open for Program Account Set Up

The NMS Match System is now open for programs to set up their accounts for 2027 CASPR. A new NMS Match System account must be set up each year as previous years registration is not carried forward. Successful registration with both AACPM and the NMS Match System allows programs to receive applications, schedule interviews, submit rankings, and obtain results.

Programs that do not complete their registration with AACPM and set up their account with NMS will not be able to receive applications or participate in the 2027 CASPR until both of those steps are completed.

Program Directors must use the link in the email to set up their new NMS Match System account for the 2027 CASPR. Program Directors can create additional NMS Match System accounts for program staff after completing the setup process.
