  • Interview Invitations

    When residencies invite you to an interview using the NMS Match System, you will be sent an interview notification by email. You may receive invitations from multiple residencies, and each residency may invite you to more than one type of interview.

    The notification email includes a unique link to schedule your interview with that residency.

    Alternatively, you can log in to the NMS Match System to manage all of your interviews. The NMS Match System has two views to manage your Interviews:
