Residency Matching
The National Resident Matching Program helps pair up soon-to-be residents with graduate medical programs by serving as an impartial venue for matching the preferences of applicants and programs. Find out the residency match schedule for the upcoming year by visiting: http://www.nrmp.org/res_match/yearly.html

Additionally, the NHSC Web site has nuggets of wisdom to think about before selecting a residency.
