Each of the applicants desiring to share a residency enrolls individually in the Match and then together they submit a Shared Residency Pair Form . This form must be received by the NRMP no later than January 16, 2001. Applicants completing the Shared Residency Pair Form for the 2001 Match can participate in the matching process only as a pair to be matched together to a single full-time position. These applicants cannot apply as individuals for full-time positions in the Match. In this case, a new NRMP code may be assigned to the remaining applicant.
Alphabetic placement is determined by the leading last name.
The shared pair will submit only one Rank Order List on the Web which should include all of the acceptable shared positions that both applicants agree to be matched to. If the pair is matched to a full-time position in the Match, both individuals are bound to accept it according to the terms of the NRMP Agreement.
