Is this a real thing?
From howstuffworks.com-
Basically the Match is run by the National Resident Matching Program (a non-profit corporation). They conduct a sort of computer matching game. It works in the following way. After everyone has completed their interviews, the graduating medical student submits their list of residency programs in order of preference. At the same time, the residency programs rank the students that they prefer. The NRMP enters the info into a computer to match students and residency programs with their highest possible preference. Every graduating medical student finds out the results on the same day in mid-March on "Match day".
You are committed to accept the position you have matched into. If you did not match into a residency you are informed a few days prior to match day. A list of unfilled positions is provided to the unmatched medical students so that they can participate in the Scramble (getting unmatched medical students into unfilled positions).
What if you are married to someone else who is a doctor and you don't get the same place? I realize this is an unlikely circumstance, but if I become a doctor, it would happen...my boyfriend also wants to be a doctor.
That is very scary...please tell me this guy doesn't have it right.
