Frequently Asked Questions

Where did the idea for Inside the Match originate?

In September 2020, with COVID-19 and the transition to virtual interviews, we recognized there was a lack of support and guidance for residency applicants. The residency match process can be stressful, but we have a large community excited to support applicants with advice during the match. Our goal is to provide guidance throughout the match process and wisdom from residents and leaders in medical education.

What is the mission of our platform?

To provide free, equitable opportunities and transparency about the residency match process.

How much has this project/mission grown since you conceptualized it?

Since September 2020, we have more than 120+ podcast episodes with 170,000+ podcast listeners. You can also connect with us on Twitter and Instagram.

Are you looking for bloggers to write content about medical school, the match, or residency for the website?

Yes! We welcome residents, fellows, or attending physicians to write blog posts! Send us a message if you’re interested.

We are happy to amplify residency program events, scholarships, and research opportunities for medical school students and residents. Please send us a message with the event details.
