VIRMP 2026

If I accepted an internship through the scramble over the phone, would you also get black listed if you call again and back out? I am having MASSIVE regrets!!

The Withdrawal Regulations on the website say this: “If a program was filled outside the VIRMP, the institution/private practice must provide the VIRMP with the name of the person to whom the position was offered. The VIRMP Director, in consultation with the AAVC Executive Committee, will determine if the reason for withdrawal is acceptable. If the reason for withdrawal is deemed acceptable, no sanction will be imposed.” which suggests to me that yes, the three year ban would likely be in effect because I don’t think general regrets would be considered acceptable. But I don’t know that for certain, that’s just how I interpret the website.

If you failed to match, the VIRMP terms of agreement no longer apply. Accepting a position through the scramble is outside the purview of VIRMP; that's handled directly between you and the program. In other words, this is a standard employment contract issue. Any legal repercussions would depend on specific details.

What I would do is contact the program director and discuss your reservations honestly and professionally. Speaking as a program director, the last thing I want is an intern who doesn't want to be here.

I matched to Auburn SA Rotating. Does anyone know anyone there for housing purposes? It was not my first choice, kind of bummed about that-- but happy for the opportunity!

I didn't match. Not saying I am not disappointed, but also kind of expected. I will apply for other residencies in Europe. Congratulations to everyone who has matched and good luck to everyone who is working on a plan B!

Congratulations to everyone! I was wondering when folks typically hear back from their respective programs with formal offer letters and HR on-boarding information? I realize this is probably program-dependent but I was generally curious about the timeline and would love some insight from folks who have been through this before. Thanks!

It’s been a long time since I went through the process, but we got welcome emails pretty quickly but paperwork took several weeks. I want to say my private practice internship was quite a bit quicker than my residency. My residency didn’t send stuff until mid-April and I think my internship was in mid-March…but also the match day used to be earlier than it is now so my experience may not be that useful anymore.

I've been at the same institution through 3 match cycles now, so my n is really only 1, but we got a welcome letter within a few hours of matching and didn't start getting formal contract stuff until at least the next day or later in that week.
