The MATCH PRISM®

The MATCH Program Rating and Interview Scheduling Manager, or The Match PRISM®, is a free downloadable tool from the National Resident Matching Program® that enables Main Residency Match ® and Specialties Matching Service® Fellowship Match applicants to track programs during the interview process and create program ratings that can be used to generate a rank order list in the NRMP’s web-based Registration, Ranking, and Results ® (R3) ® system.
Users of The MATCH PRISM® APP are able to:


• identify and select from a directory of programs where they interview


• add interview dates to their personal device calendar


• rate programs on a wide range of factors including quality of curriculum and training, program reputation, patient diversity, geographic location, and quality of residents


• enter “notes” about each program


• calculate a composite score for each program of interest


• develop a program summary to assist in developing a rank order list


• access official NRMP Match Events to review

Great concept, wish it was more personalized. My concern is that the developers of this app are not helping med students fully understand their priorities in evaluating programs by making a template criteria with no obvious way of deleting some of them. Some students don't want fellowships or academia, others have their own unique things in mind, some criteria in people's minds weigh more than others so that should also be factored in as well. To make it an effective system, the app needs to start completely blank on the criteria. Prior to scoring each program, the user needs to add each criteria that is important to him/her in addition to the weight of importance to each criteria (minor, average, significant). This way, everyone will have a rank list at the end of it all that resonates much better with their gut feeling.

Missing some programs. Otherwise very handy

Used to work, now when ever you open the interview tab it crashes. Kinda defeats the point of the app

Can only be used to add some programs. It freezes and cannot be opened afterwards, most of the time.

Clunky, unintuitive, either programmed in 2005 or created by someone's nephew

Unusable. Can't scroll down screen to select programs.

App gets stuck after I save programs till Mississippi. And it doesn't show me the program list again. All my effort wasted.

Nice app -- gets quite sluggish once you've added too many programs, though. Would also be improved by linking to ERAS so that you don't have to manually add programs.

Should allow you to adjust the weight of the criteria cstegories and allow to remove not just add criteria.

Would prefer if app integrated basic frieda info about programs. And, allowed entry of specific things that matter in decision, such as type of call schedule, specific academic aspects of program such as presentations, money for books, money for conferences. And time to go. not just 1-5 rating of feeling about call after the fact. Makes hard to go back and actually compare programs. And used google calendar over the App for scheduling.

Should be really cool, but lags way too much. There's like a 10 second delay from when you touch your screen till the app responds...hopefully this will be fixed soon

Great tool for developing a preliminary rank list. I like that you can add custom made categories, though the built in ones are really thoughtful. Still some problems with crashing once in a while, now it crashes when I try to delete a program. Also, being able to back up data would be a nice feature.

Freezes every time I try to remove a program from my list. ALL OF MY NOTES DISAPPEARED when I went back through after I finished interviews. In the future you should allow users to delete the preset rating criteria or allow users to type in their own parameters for each star rating. Linking with ERAS to automatically sync my programs would be awesome. Adding a tab for a summary page would be nice with check boxes for things like interview complete, thank you letters sent, hotel booked, ect.

I opened my app after most of my interviews and all of my notes from each interview are gone. I can't recover them from anywhere. Very disappointed with this app.

Joh. M. Dec 21, 2013     

As some others have said, all of my ratings and notes disappeared after an auto update. 17 programs, gone. Thanks guys, great job.

Lea. M. Dec 23, 2013     

Since the last update, when I try to remove programs, the app crashes.

Arp. S. Nov 25, 2013     

Try it

Lee. C. Oct 25, 2013     

Tons of errors, can't look at my overall ratings

Mat. K. Oct 19, 2013     

The app is listing interviews out of chronological order

Aha. A. Apr 20, 2017     

Very helpful to enlist favorite programs and get contact information

Moa. I. Oct 24, 2015     

The app is missing some programs that have NRMP #'s. I can't find a program I'm interviewing at.
