Registration Process

  • When is the registration deadline?

    It is recommended that you register to participate in the ORMatch by December 31, 2024, although registrations will be accepted after that date. The final deadline to register to participate in the ORMatch is February 25, 2025.

    Programs require a significant amount of time to review applications, conduct interviews, and evaluate applicants. Most programs submit their Rank Order Lists for the Match well before those deadlines. Therefore, to ensure you are properly considered and able to be ranked by programs, you should register well before the final date listed above.

  • Do I need to have taken the NBEO exams in order to register?

    While you are not required to have taken your NBEO exams in order to register, you must have your NBEO Part I examiniation score and a copy of your unofficial online NBEO Score Report in order to submit an application to a US-based program.

    If you are applying exclusively to Canadian programs, contact ORMatch for an exemption from the NBEO reporting requirement.

  • What are the implications of withdrawing from ORMatch?

    If you withdraw, you will not be matched to a position. Any rankings you may have submitted will not be used in the Match. You will also not receive further communication about participating in ORMatch from NMS. However, you will still have access to the List of Programs with Available Positions that is posted for the Post-Match Process.

    Applicants who withdraw from ORMatch will be displayed to residencies within the NMS Match System as withdrawn.

    Withdrawing from ORMatch does not effect your eligibility to participate in the Post-Match Process, or to participate in ORMatch in future years.
