We, the undersigned, are writing to protest a NRMP proposed resolution requiring institutions participating in the Main Residency Match fill all PGY1 and PGY2 positions through the Main Residency Match or another national matching plan, until the following grievances in the Match Participation Agreement, Violations Policy, and Waiver Policy are addressed: 1. Section D.1.b of Policies Procedures for Reporting, Investigation, and Disposition of Violations of NRMP agreements: The Permanent Ban should be removed and reserved specifically for falsifying a degree or license, or separate repeat match violations. 2. The NRMP should move toward complete transparency of all statistics on waivers, violations, and consequences of violations for both programs and applicants. Prior precedence should be open information and is necessary for a fair violation policy. 3. Section 7.2.2 of the Match Participation Agreement: Change “training” to “residency training”. “Training” is open to interpretation. A sanction resulting from a Match Violation should not prevent a physician from accepting a faculty, staff, or research position at a NRMP affiliated program.
