Post-Match Process (Unmatched Applicant Program)
Genetic counseling programs accredited by the ACGC work together to try to ensure that as many qualified candidates as possible are admitted to programs each year.
Beginning at 12:00 p.m. noon Eastern Time on April 17, 2024, programs with available positions are permitted to fill those positions, independently of the Match, with applicants that did not obtain a position in the Match. NMS is not involved in the filling of positions during the Post-Match Process.
Programs may choose to be included on the List Programs with Available Positions that is provided to unmatched applicants in the NMS Match System beginning at 12:00 p.m. noon Eastern Time on April 17, 2024. The list can include programs that participated in the Match that have positions available, as well as programs that obtained ACGC accreditation after March 15, 2024 that have chosen to participate in the 2024 Post-Match Process. Unmatched applicants are encouraged to take the initiative in contacting programs which they are seriously interested in attending.
Information on the List of Programs with Available Positions may be updated. Programs and positions can be removed from the list at any time and new positions may be added as they become available. Programs that have a new position become available should notify AGCPD/GCEA prior to adding the position to the Post-Match list.
