Statistics for the 2019 Match and previous years are available.

Post-Match Process

Beginning at 12:00 p.m noon ET on March 18, 2019, programs with unfilled positions are permitted to seek and fill positions that remain available independently of ORMatch. NMS is not involved in the filling of positions during the Post-Match Process and programs may fill their available positions with applicants that did not register for ORMatch.

The List of Programs with Available Positions provides applicants with up to date information on available positions. Information on this list may be updated by Program Coordinators until May 31, 2019. Unmatched applicants seeking positions that remain available should contact residency sites directly.

Program Coordinators and Directors of Residencies at schools and colleges of optometry can log into the NMS Match System to access information on applicants who certified a Rank Order List but were not matched.
