          CRIP<\/span><\/h3>\n

          The Centralized Residency Interview Program (CRIP), is an interview event for residency candidates and residency program selection committees. After reviewing applications for academic merit, residency programs invite select candidates for face-to-face interviews<\/strong>. Over 6 days, most CASPR residency applicants and podiatric residency programs attend to complete in-person interviews at the CRIP event. CRIP is divided into two sections to accommodate all the participating residency programs. CRIP saves time and money for both applicants and programs over disbursed interviews at program sites.<\/p>\n

          Section 1 programs interview any of the first three days of CRIP and Section 2 programs interview any of the second three days of the six day event. A program’s CRIP status and section are listed in the “Section” column of the CASPR Directory of Residency Programs<\/a>.\u00a0 The dates for CRIP are listed in the CASPR Schedule<\/a>.<\/p>\n

          Information on the 2025 CRIP will be posted in the fall of 2024.<\/p>\n

          THE MATCH<\/span><\/h3>\n

          At the conclusion of the interview period, residency applicants submit a “rank-order list.” The rank-order list details the programs where the applicant wishes to train, ranked in his\/her order of preference. Each residency program also submits a rank-order list indicating a list of its applicants the program wishes to train, ranked in the program’s order of preference. The process is blinded so that neither applicants nor residency programs see the other’s list. The match computer algorithm then attempts to assign each applicant to a residency position using the preferences expressed on the rank-order lists. The mathematical algorithm was the basis for awarding the 2012 Nobel Prize in Economic Sciences<\/a>.<\/p>\n

          To make the algorithm work best for you, base your rank order list (rankings) on\u00a0your\u00a0true\u00a0preferences, not on how\u00a0you think you will match.<\/p>\n
