Application: The NRMP is not an application service or a job placement service. Applicants must apply directly to residency programs in addition to registering for The Match. Most programs participate in the Electronic Residency Application Service (ERAS®), which transmits residency applications to program directors via the Internet. Applicants must register with both NRMP and ERAS to use the services of each.
