"Early Match" residencies Q

Members do not see this ad.

When you apply for an early match residency spot, eg SF match for ophthy, do you have to apply separately for PGY1 year through NRMP? How does this work?

I understand that you find out about your PGY2 first in Jan and then PGY1 in March through NRMP.

You are correct. Unless you find a combined program, you will have to register for, interview for, and rank separate PGY-1 year spots in the regular NRMP match.
