Applications

• How do I get applications?

  Participating in the MedPhys Match does not change your application procedures. You are free to accept applications and evaluate applicants in any manner you like. Many programs use the Medical Physics Residency Application Program (MP-RAP) provided by AAPM.

  Only residencies that are registered to participate in the MedPhys Match can receive applications through MP-RAP from applicants that are participating in the MedPhys Match. If your residency wants to participate in both MP-RAP and the MedPhys Match, you must register separately with each service. To avoid confusion for applicants, programs that participate in both MP-RAP and the MedPhys Match should ensure that information, such as residency and program names, are consistent in both systems.

• What does it mean to recruit and interview in compliance with relevant institutional and statutory guidelines?

  Every employer has rules that must be followed when recruiting and interviewing applicants. The rules will take into account ethical principles and regulations that enforce such things as equal opportunity and non-discrimination in hiring practices. It is expected that residency Program Directors will be familiar with their institutional policies, or consult their Human Resource departments for further information, and follow best practices in this area.

• What do I do if I am considering an application from an applicant who is not in the NMS Match System?

  If an applicant does not appear on the list of registered applicants , it means the applicant has not yet registered to participate in the MedPhys Match. Contact the applicant and tell them to register for the MedPhys Match as soon as possible.
