EventNMS Community Call - NMS Interview
NMS Interview is a new module in the NMS Match System that provides an easy and automated way for internships to schedule their interviews.
APPIC hosted a community call about NMS Interview for training sites on October 23, 1:00 pm Eastern Time.
The call covered:
- How to set up your interview schedule
- How to add candidates and send invitations
- How to manage and view your interview schedule in real-time
We have also updated our Interviews FAQs to address questions that arose during the webinar. Answers to the questions from the webinar are flagged as New on the FAQ page.

FeaturesAdd and Manage Account Users
Training Directors can add new secondary users to their accounts in the NMS Match System.
Secondary users will have restricted permissions in the NMS Match System. They have read-only access to the training site and program information (e.g., participation status, positions offered, profile information, results, etc.), full access to interview information, but no access to rankings information. They will also be copied on relevant emails sent to the Training Director from the NMS Match System (e.g., confirmations, reminders, etc.). Secondary users can be removed from the system by the Training Director at any time.
This new feature is particularly useful for Training Directors who want to:
- Have a coordinator or assistant create and manage the training site’s interview schedule
- Keep other people informed of communications and the training site’s status in the Match.
Training Directors can log in to the NMS Match System and add new users from the Account section.

FeaturesNew Features in NMS Interview
NMS Interview is an online interview scheduling module integrated into the NMS Match System that provides an easy and automated way for training sites and applicants to schedule their interviews.
While internship programs are not required to use NMS Interview, the APPIC Board strongly recommends its use (including by programs that have used another scheduling system in the past) as it is integrated into the NMS Match System and provides efficiencies for both programs and applicants. The benefits to applicants increase as more programs use a single system for interview scheduling.
Updates for the 2025 Match
We have added several enhancements to NMS Interview this year.
Enhanced Filtering - New filtering capabilities have been added to the interview calendar, event list, and interview itinerary to make it easier for sites with multiple interview types to identify and manage their events.
Interview Schedule Export - Programs can export their full interview schedule into a CSV file which can be opened in Microsoft Excel or imported to a personal calendar.
Simplified Schedule Creation - Programs can now schedule back-to-back interviews in one action. Simply select the start and end times for the desired time block and select the duration for each event. You can also add a break or buffer time between each event if desired.
Faster Group Assignment - Programs can select multiple candidates and assign them all to a selected group in one action.
Standardized Lockout Time - Lockout times have been standardized to 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on the date selected by the program.
More Detailed Digest Emails - The daily digest email informing programs of changes to their interview schedule has been enhanced to provide more information about the schedule update.
Simplified Management of Phase II Interviews - Programs participating in Phase II will have the option to delete/clear out all of their Phase I interview data prior to scheduling interviews for Phase II.
Enhanced User Interface - We made a number of improvements to simplify the navigation and management of information for candidates and events.
