Access NMS Match System

You can access the NMS Match System by selecting the Log In button in the top-right corner of the screen.

Dashboard

After you log into the NMS Match System you are presented with a Dashboard. The Dashboard provides summary information about your school, access to a list of your registered students, and access to the applications submitted to the residencies affiliated with your school.


List of Registered Students

To view the list of your registered students, select the View button from the Students section of the Dashboard.


Applications to Affiliated Residencies

To access the applications to your programs:

  • Log In to the NMS Match System.
  • Select the View button from the Applications section of the Dashboard.
  • Select a residency site from the list. Only residency sites that are registered for ORMatch are shown in the list.
  • The application submitted by each applicant can be downloaded as a PDF document by clicking on the applicant's name.

    Applicants may submit an application before all of their reference letters are available. As reference writers submit their letters, the application will be updated to include the letters.

Account Information

The Account page allows you to edit your email address, password and security questions.

Your initial password is assigned to your Account by ORMatch and can be changed if desired. If you change your email or password, you will have to use the new values for subsequent logins to the NMS Match System.

Security questions and answers are not set initially in the NMS Match System, although we recommend you add them.

Ensure your email address is correct, as ORMatch results for your school and other correspondence pertaining to ORMatch will be sent to that email address.

If you are the Director of Residencies as well as the Program Coordinator for a residency site that is registered for ORMatch, your login credentials are the same across all roles. Any changes you make to the Account Information will be made automatically for all of your roles.

  • Support PIN

    The support PIN is a secret number that you can use to verify your identity and ownership of the account when you contact NMS support. The PIN must be 6 digits and may not begin with a zero.

  • Add/Manage Secondary Users

    Director of Residencies can add and remove secondary users who will have access to their school's information in the NMS Match System.

    A secondary user can view, manage, and change all school information, however they are not allowed to create or manage other users. They will also be copied on relevant automated emails (e.g., reminders, results etc.) sent to the Director of Residencies from the NMS Match System.

    Add Users:

    • Select the Account option from the NMS Match System menu
    • Select the Manage Users button in the Users section of the Account page
      Manage users

    • Select the Add New User button.
      Add new user

    • Provide the person's name, phone number, and email address
    • Select the Add button. This will automatically send an email to the user prompting them to create their own unique login credentials in the NMS Match System. If the user already has an account in the NMS Match System, your school will be added to their list of options when they log into their account.

    Remove User:

    If you remove a secondary user, they will no longer have access to your school in the NMS Match System and will not receive any communications about your school from the NMS Match System.

    • Select the Account option from the NMS Match System menu.
    • Select the Manage Users button in the Users section of the Account page.
      Manage users

    • Select the X located next to the user's name from the list of users for your school.
