Preparing for the 2025 Match

Link to Strolling Through the Match. Specifically, the AAFP’s free, step-by-step guide to the Match offers a month-by-month checklist for fourth-year students to follow on page 2. In August, students participating in the Match should take the following steps if they haven’t already: 

  • Refine their residency program research  
  • Schedule a Medical Student Performance Evaluation interview  
  • Register for MyERAS  
  • Complete profile on MyERAS application 

The checklist will also alert students to next steps, like registering with the NRMP (starting Sept. 15) and applying to programs. Get Strolling
