This came out in Feb 2020 for the 2019-2020 match.
I imagine this will be similar timing for this year's match - Feb 2021.
EDIT:
Apparently I'm wrong.

Dang! Hem/onc with no unfilled spots??!!
The NRMP data does not show the full picture, as it only shows match statistics for candidates who registered with NRMP (ie attended interviews). There might be few candidates who applied in ERAS and never got an invite. I took ERAS application submitted data and NRMP match data to show a more clear picture.

Do you mind sharing endocrinology numbers as well? Thank you!

Wow! Astonishing numbers.
So after the SMS match is out, and you are looking at unfilled positions, say you apply to Nephro to a specific program which has a vacancy, and they offer you a spot.
What happens if:
1) You don't accept it.--Does it count as Match violation?
2) You accept it and later back out.--Does this count as Match violation?
Do these applications to programs with open spots count as SOAP or out of the match?
Any pointers will be much appreciated! Thanks

There's no match violations with anything you get after the match. If you accept a spot post match and do anything - quit, don't show up, etc -- it's not a match violation. Might not be a good idea for your career, but the NRMP won't care.
Thank you for the input.
Can you please share why do you think it might not be a good idea for one's career? I was thinking you would only switch or do something that you thought was better for you.

People talk so basically don't be an ahole and stand up your second choice date who already knows they are your second choice date.

Do you all think these numbers are manifestations of a weird Covid 2020 app cycle or that these are going to be repeated moving forward (ex. PCCM 70% match rate)?
PCCM had a similar match rate last year (900 applicants for 600 spots)
However, that does not tell the full story, as this is only for applicants who even received interviews. The real match rate is much lower than 70%

The data is freely available: ERAS Statistics | AAMC
For Pulm/CC, there were 1357 applicants. So the "actual" match rates were:
MD - 323 / 689 = 47%
DO - 92 / 228 = 40%
IMG - 240 / 668 = 35%

Is there any explanation for why these numbers are so rough? This seems worrisome even as an MD student.

The ERAS stats reflect only that those people applied to at least one pulm program. Some of those numbers are people applying to pulm as a backup, or people who applied to pulm but then decided not to rank programs. It also includes residents who applied and didn’t even get a single interview (which means they aren’t going to show up in the NRMP data), though I can’t imagine a lot of USMDs would fall into that category.

Using the excel sheet for # of applicants (MD), and the match result report, here's what I got:
for cardiology 549/689 = 0.8
for pulm/cc 323/461 = 0.7
Maybe the denominator you used for MD was actually the cardiology # of applicants.

Maybe the denominator you used for MD was actually the cardiology # of applicants.
Good point on those ranking PCCM as backup, however looking at the match data this year it seems like less than 20 applicants from cards/GI matched to a different specialty (and does not say what the specialty was) making the contribution somewhat insignificant
The numbers on that roughly check out, 70% USMD match rate is pretty dismal honestly. That's lower than many of the surgical subspecialty matches iirc (self-selection bias not withstanding)
But overall match rate being so low for PCCM is what is striking, ~50% if i'm not mistaken (1295 applicants for 650 spots), although this does seem consistent with last year's data as well (1173 applicants for roughly the same number of spots)

Correct me if I'm wrong, but:
"Actual" Endocrine Match
- 324 matched (From NRMP) / 453 applied (from ERAS data who submitted an app; different from the 364 applicants who ranked Endo for the NRMP match - I wonder where they all went...) = 71% match
- NRMP reported 14% Unmatched rate from those who ranked any # of programs; from above, 29% Unmatched from those who submitted an ERAS app (backed out last minute, did not get a single interview, applied to Endo as a backup/decided not to rank it in the end)
- 23 unfilled positions out of 347
- USMD: 86/96 = 90%
- DO: 35/42 = 83%
- IMG: (53+149)/315 = 64%
