This book is intended as a general guide only. While the editors have taken reasonable measures to ensure the accuracy of all information presented herein, the user is encouraged to consult other resources when necessary. The publisher, authors, editors, and sponsoring organizations specifically disclaim any liability for omissions or errors found in this handbook or for appropriate use.
Please be aware: We have cited NRMP Charting Outcomes in multiple chapters, along with AAMC resources. NRMP, AAMC, and the authors have attempted to produce unbiased and, where available, evidence-based information and advice regarding matching and competitiveness. However, there are no perfect studies available to give us the best evidence. We have used the best information available, and caveats are present. In this guide, we reference matched and unmatched candidates; it should be noted that a matched candidate indicates a candidate who matched into a preferred specialty. An unmatched candidate did not match into the preferred specialty, but did not necessarily not match into residency at all.
