7.5) Are there specialties that don't use the NRMP?
Several specialties have their own matching programs. Neurology,
Neurosurgery, Ophthalmology, Otolaryngology, and Plastic Surgery,
along with several subspecialty fellowship programs in these fields,
have their matches coordinated through the San Francisco Matching
Program <http://www.sfmatch.org>.
Urology has its own matching program, coordinated by the American
Urological Association at
<http://www.auanet.org/students_residents/>.
The "Match Day" for these specialties occurs in January, instead of
March as for the NRMP. Consult the matching programs' web sites for
schedules.
