Psych program that does not participate in Match?

[NeedToStudy]

I was looking at the Delaware Psychiatric center website and they say that they don't participate in the Match. I thought every residency program participates in the match. Is this a legitimate Psychiatry residency program?

I don't know about that program specifically, but there are a handful of programs (referred to as "all-out" programs) that don't participate in the match. They are generally really, really crappy IM programs in NYC. The limitation caused by not participating in the match is they're forbidden from taking any current US students OR anyone who remains in the match. All of their residents have to withdraw from the match before they can sign a contract there.

Wait what do you mean? So if I apply to that program I can't apply to programs in the match? It's either that or nothing?

Welll......

You can apply to programs in and out of the Match, but if you take a position out of the Match, you have to withdraw from the Match. It's a contract. You can't stay in the Match, which is a contractual event as well.
