Logon to NRMP and click on 'My Reports' for this year's match statistics. Here's General Surgery:

We don't have any agreement with the NRMP, and have discussed this on the Admin boards. There is no problem disclosing the information here as far as SDN is concerned.

Roanoke had 2 open spots? Not that I'm shocked...but it would be interesting to have this confirmed or denied.

the rumour may b right - remember i didnt say anything

roanoke is the spot. May have something to do with the fact that they just added a position is what my PD said.

I don't think so. I have a classmate doing residency there.

My post from 3/1/07

"If you're looking for a program that won't match, check out Carilion in Roanoke. The program has fallen apart in the last year. Several residents have left / are leaving as the program has lost all the vascular surgeons, are looking for a new program director (the 4th in 4 years), ABSITE and board pass rates are low, and will most likely be put on probation when the institutional review takes place next year due to massive 80 hours violations. On the bright side, if your looking for a program with open spots and likely won't match all the categorical spots, check it out."

I didn't realize there were only 1059 spots in the country.

they had a 2 spot earlier too, not sure if they still do?
