All orthopaedic sports medicine fellowship programs that are accredited by the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME)  or the Canadian Orthopaedic Association (COA)  or who have formally applied to the ACGME for accreditation prior to August 15 can participate in the Match.   Programs that are not accredited will be clearly identified to all match participants since their fellows will be ineligible for ABOS subspecialty certification in orthopaedic sports medicine.   Applicants who wish to participate in the Match will register directly with the SFMatch .
