Residency Programs should familiarize themselves with the information on this page. Cycle deadlines and other important dates are found in the CASPR Schedule. There is also useful information to learn more about CASPR, the CRIP interview event, and the match process. Links are provided to guide you to external resources related to CASPR and residency programs.
To complete your CASPR registration, make payments, schedule CRIP interviews, or view Match announcements, visit CASPRweb.org.
Once BOTH modules are completed, e-mail AACPM at ogs@aacpm.org AND DOJ/OSC at podiatry@usdoj.gov stating that you have completed both training modules and include your name, program, and date training was completed.
The CASPR Program Schedule provides you with a timeline for the CASPR cycle including important deadlines you need to meet.
When the Match Week Schedule is posted, it gives you detailed information on Match Week and MP II dates and deadlines.
We suggest you download a copy and add important dates to your personal calendar.
The Centralized Residency Interview Program (CRIP) is a combined interview event for residency candidates and residency program selection committees. Over 6 days, the majority of CASPR residency programs attend to interview applicants. CRIP is divided into two sections, in order to accommodate all the residency programs. CRIP saves time and money for both applicants and programs.
AACPM staff makes all program interview and sleeping room accommodations for programs at the host hotel based on the information you provide in the “Scheduling Questionnaires and Accommodation Request Forms.” Those forms become available during the cycle and an announcement is sent. A confirmation is sent to you when your reservations are complete and ALL changes to reservations must be made through our office. DO NOT contact the host hotel about reservations.
Throughout the CASPR cycle, informational videos are posted here to help you understand and navigate key steps of the application, interview and match processes.
CASPR uses a mathematical algorithm to place applicants into residency positions. Research on the algorithm was the basis for awarding the 2012 Nobel Prize in Economic Sciences.
After the match algorithm is run, any unfilled positions are offered to unmatched applicants in Match Phase II (MP II). MP II is a structured offer and acceptance process on CASPRweb that offers unfilled residency positions to unmatched applicants based on program preference. MP II IS NOT ANOTHER MATCH. At the end of MP II, any remaining unfilled residency positions are open to CASPR and non-CASPR applicants.
