Requirements
Any medical physics residency offering positions that start training between June 1, 2026, and December 31, 2026, may participate in the MedPhys Match. Residencies do not need to be CAMPEP accredited in order to participate in the MedPhys Match; however, CAMPEP accreditation status should be disclosed to applicants since it may affect their eligibility for future Board certification.
AAPM and SDAMPP encourage all medical physics residency programs that start training on or around July 1 to participate, although programs recruiting for start dates later in the year may also want to participate and seek residents from the larger applicant pool.
To register for the MedPhys Match, the program must agree to abide by the Schedule of Dates of the MedPhys Match, the Residency Agreement, and the Rules of the MedPhys Match.
Residencies must be registered for the MedPhys Match in order to receive applications from applicants, schedule interviews using the NMS Match System, and participate in the Matching Process. Residencies that do not want to participate in the Matching Process can register after March 27, 2026 and use the Application and Interview Scheduling Service in the Post-Match Process.
Registration Process

Fees
There is a $700 USD fee for residencies to register for the MedPhys Match.
The registration fee covers a residency's full participation in the MedPhys Match, including the Application Service, Interview Scheduling module, Matching Process, and Post-Match Process. There are no supplemental fees based on the number of programs, positions offered, rankings submitted, or applicants matched. There is no discount for participating in the Post-Match Process only. The registration fee is non-refundable and non-transferable, even if the residency subsequently decides not to participate, and cannot be applied to future years or other residencies.
