What does it take to match into the specialty and program of your choice?
What's New at The Successful Match...
• Updated E-Documents to help you match into Anesthesiology, Dermatology, Emergency Medicine, General Surgery, Neurosurgery, Obstetrics & Gynecology, Ophthalmology, Orthopaedic Surgery, and Radiology. Featuring the perspectives of program directors and a review of the literature, these documents will help you stand out from the competition.
• "Competition is tightening," said Mona Signer, Executive Director of the National Resident Matching Program. "The growth in applicants is more than the increase in positions." Now more than ever, preclinical students need to have a strategy in place for success in the Match. In our book, Success in Medical School, you'll learn how to position yourself for Match success.
• Have you every wished for an easier way to understand and interpret lab tests? How about a step-by-step approach? That's precisely what you'll find in our book, the Clinician's Guide to Laboratory Medicine: Pocket. See how our book has helped students provide better patient care, deliver stronger oral case presentations, produce more detailed write-ups, and answer the question, "What should we do next?" in attending rounds. "It provides an excellent practical approach to abnormal lab tests," writes the Internal Medicine Clerkship at Northwestern University. Look inside the book at Amazon.com.

Our Goal...
In the 2012 NRMP Match, over 40% of all U.S. senior applicants failed to match at their top choice residency program.
In competitive specialties such as dermatology, orthopedic surgery, and plastic surgery, over 20% of U.S. senior applicants
failed to match at all.
The numbers are significantly worse for osteopathic and international
medical graduates.
Our aim is to help you match successfully.
