Candidate Match Form

Candidates' Ranking Form

This is the page for you to rank (#1 is most preferred) your residency site selections. We have allowed up to ten choices for you. The normal number of selections is 2-5 positions. If you choose only one site, you are limiting your opportunities to match, but this is your ranking list and any number up to ten is permissible. This form is for your use after making your final choice of desired residency sites.

You must submit a Matching Form to ORMS in order to participate in the match.

Do not neglect the last question about the "Pool" List. Should you not match at your selected programs, your name and demographic data will be sent to programs with unfilled positions if you select "yes." By responding positively, you would enhance your chances of being selected for one of the unfilled positions

Please do not submit ranking lists with no preferences as that type of submission serves no purpose.

Should you choose not to submit a ranking list, please notify ORMS at orms@orms.org of your wish to withdraw from the match. If you do not submit a Matching Form, ORMS cannot match you to a site.

Please wait until you have interviewed to submit your ranking list. Duplicate matching forms create extra work, delay notification and may create errors.

Please do not submit multiple ranking lists unless your selections or rankings change.
Do NOT submit a ranking list unless you intend to serve at the matched site.
Deadline for Matching Form submission, close of business, 5PM PT, the first Friday in March.

Use the "Tab" key and "Shift-Tab" key combination to move between fields. Use of the "Enter" key will submit the form prematurely.
