About ResidencyPrograms.io

Built by physicians, for future physicians. We have been where you are, and we are here to make your residency application journey easier.

Our story

ResidencyPrograms.io was founded by a team of board-certified US physicians and experienced software engineers who have personally navigated the ERAS residency application process. We saw first-hand how much research, time and money it takes to match into a residency program, and we knew there should be a better way.

After completing our own residencies, we combined our medical expertise with technology to build a platform that changes how medical students approach applications. Our mission is simple: give you data-driven insights that help you make strategic decisions while saving valuable time and money.

The challenge we solve

The residency application process is complex, time-consuming and expensive. This is what students typically face.

Time investment

Students spend 100+ hours researching programs, analyzing match data, and trying to work out which programs fit their profile and goals.

Financial burden

The average student invests over $3,000 in application fees, often applying without strategic guidance on match probability.

Information overload

With thousands of programs and conflicting advice, students struggle to decide where to apply.

Our solution

We built software that analyzes residency program data for you, so you can create a strategic program list in a fraction of the time.

1

Save 200+ hours

Our algorithms analyze program data so you don't have to spend months researching manually.

2

Reduce application costs

Strategic program selection helps you avoid unnecessary application fees, saving an average of $500.

3

Increase match probability

Data-driven insights help you apply to programs where you have the highest likelihood of matching.

Program data is refreshed several times during each application cycle from public program information and match outcomes. Explore programs by specialty.

Our data sources

Program data comes from these sources, combined by one automated pipeline.

  • IMGPrep: the public program directory (ACGME code, name, specialty, state, contacts) and IMG-friendliness figures such as visa sponsorship and IMG percentages.
  • AAMC Residency Explorer: program details, match and interview statistics, and the medical schools of current residents.
  • World Directory of Medical Schools (WDOMS): the reference list we use to name and match residents' medical schools.

Programs are identified by their ACGME program code. Guides use the AAMC's published ERAS statistics and signal reports.

How we keep data current

The pipeline downloads each source, compares the result with what is already on the site and produces a list of changes. A person reviews that list and approves, revises or rejects it. Nothing is published until it is approved.

The date shown on the home page, specialty pages and program pages is the date of the last approved update: October 11, 2026.
