May 2026 Programs in Internal Medicine, Pediatrics, and Vascular Surgery Residency specialties will have the opportunity to participate in the pilot again for the 2027 Main Residency Match. This pilot, which began with the 2026 Main Residency Match, will make it possible for the NRMP, and participating programs, to explore the merits and utility of a voluntary functionality that would allow programs to “lock” their rank order lists in the NRMP’s Registration, Ranking, and Results® (R3®) system.

June 2025 The National Resident Matching Program® (NRMP®) is pleased to announce the Voluntary Program Rank Order List (ROL) Lock Pilot initiative with the partnership of the Internal Medicine, Pediatrics, and Vascular Surgery specialties.

The NRMP will convene a Match Innovations Summit with key stakeholder groups to further examine the proposal and discuss other Match innovations, including a two-phase Match. The APCCMPD intends to represent the Pulmonary, Critical Care, and PCCM Fellowship Communities at this stakeholder summit.
