Recommendations by prospective mentors stressed the need for targeted matching based on interests and backgrounds. Other recommendations included frequent check-ins, scheduled meetings, updated match process information, and platforms for broader engagement.

Program Features: In 2022-2023, we had 31 residency programs participate in our Program Features, while this year we had 36 programs participate.

Since May 2023, @NMatch2024 experienced consistent social media engagement and growth. Through initiatives like program features, educational panels, and an expanded mentorship program, NMatch enhances information exchange and streamlines the residency application process in the post-COVID era. By serving as a bridge, especially for nontraditional applicants, those underrepresented in medicine, and IMGs, NMatch has been essential in shaping an inclusive future for neurology education and practice.
