NMS Interview User Guide For Applicants

Access

After you log into the NMS Match System, select the option for Interviews from the menu to access your interviews with residencies that use NMS Interview.

Your Interviews

• Set Your Time Zone

  By default, the NMS Match System assigns you a time zone of Eastern Time. If you are in a different time zone you should access the Account page in the NMS Match System to change the default time zone to your time zone.

  If your time zone differs from the time zone of a program where you are interviewing, the system will show the event time in both your time zone and the program's time zone. This ensures accurate scheduling and avoids any confusion regarding event timings.

• 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 into the NMS Match System to manage all of your interviews. The NMS Match System has two views to manage your Interviews:
