Match Day occurs on the third Friday of March each year at each of the 155 medical schools in the United States where the results of the National Resident Matching Program are announced. For ophthalmology, the match day is in the second week of January through the San Francisco match system. By entering the Match system, applicants are contractually obligated to go to the residency, internship or fellowship program at the institution to which they were matched. The same applies to the programs; they are obligated to take the applicants who matched into them.
