All in Match
As the sponsoring organization for Endocrinology Fellowship Programs, APDEM has voluntarily implemented the All In Policy for Endocrinology programs since the 2018 Match, and manages the fellowship recruitment process in accordance with the NRMP’s All In Match policy.
APDEM supports the All In Match policy and the many ways in which it serves the best interests of candidates and Endocrinology fellowship programs, including:
- Fairness: Allows applicants and program directors to consider each other without pressure and to develop rank order lists that reflect their true preferences.
- Efficiency: Optimizes the choices of applicants and program directors, ensuring each achieves the most preferred training choice possible.
- Transparency: Provides applicants, program directors, and the medical education community with valuable data about Match outcomes and training preferences to address future recruitment and manpower needs.
- Reliability: Eliminates common recruiting problems such as early or exploding offers, and applicants holding onto or reneging on offers in search of better options.
