  • Significant confusion existed regarding what constitutes an NRMP violation.
  • Only a minority of students (6/15) believed they experienced a violation; only 2 experienced actual violations, and 2 more experienced potential violations.
  • Sources of confusion included inadequate orientation, unclear information, program miscommunication, and personal values.

    • Conclusions:

    • While actual and potential NRMP violations occurred, widespread confusion about violation definitions persists.
    • Opportunities exist for improved violation investigation, student training, and clearer communication from programs to avoid real and perceived violations.
    • Addressing these issues is crucial for maintaining the integrity of the Match process and ensuring fair residency recruitment.
