The next most frequently asked question is "Where can I find NRMP match
results for the past years?"
Last year the American Medical Association AMA has contacted all web site
owners that had match results posted informing them that this material is a
subject of copyright. This is why it is almost impossible to find this
information on the web. However, comparable information is available from
www.residencyplace.com . The list of programs requirements contains
number of unfilled positions in the last year match as well as number of
IMGs for each program reported by the programs themselves.
