Residency interviews usually occur October through January of your fourth year, with December and January being the busiest interview months.
It is important to note that each specialty, and the residency programs within them, may have their own process and associated timelines. For example, some specialties offer interviews earlier than others, and some specialties participate in standardized interview offer release dates. You may find helpful specialty-specific information on the AAMC ERAS® Participating Specialties and Residency programs page.
It is also important to note that, though the main residency Match is the National Residency Match Residency Program® (NRMP®), there are other types of matches, including the Military Match and San Francisco Match. As such, it’s important to be aware of specific deadlines for your intended residency program match.
