Simply put, Match Day marks the time when fourth-year medical graduates all over the US find out if they have landed spots in the residency or fellowship training programmes they have applied for. It typically happens on the third Friday of March every year, but this can vary according to schools.

On the Monday prior to Match Day for the Main Residency Match, applicants find out from the NRMP if (but not where) they matched. Applicants who match to a training position must wait until the Match Day on Friday to learn the location of that position. Applicants who do not match to a training position in the Main Residency Match may be eligible to obtain an unfilled position through the Match Week Supplemental Offer and Acceptance Program that concludes on Thursday, the day prior to Match Day.
