The nrmp: all-in...And testing the soapy waters?

摘要

By many accounts this was a banner year for family medicine in the Match. At 2,740 offered positions, we witnessed a 7-year high. Not since 2000 (when 2,603 positions were filled) have we seen this number of matched applicants into family medicine. After being flat at 91% from 2008 to 2010, the fill rate for family medicine programs through the match bumped to 94% in 2011 and 95% this year.1 These numbers certainly are a cause for some optimism.
