For the US residency application season

One calm place for your whole residency season.

Residency Mate keeps your programs, interviews, letters and rank list together, with every key date and where it came from. You make every decision. We keep track.

Get started See what it does

Independent. Not affiliated with ERAS, NRMP, AAMC or ECFMG. We never ask for your logins to those systems.

What it does

Four jobs, each with its own place.

The spreadsheet, the calendar, the notes app and the email folder, replaced by one workspace that knows how the season works.

Programs

Every program, in order.

  • Status, notes, pros and cons, and your own custom fields for each program
  • One page per program that pulls in its interview, letters and rank position
  • Import or export a spreadsheet; links out to FREIDA, Residency Explorer and program websites

Interviews

Never double-booked.

  • Paste or forward an invitation and confirm the date, time zone and format we find
  • Overlaps are flagged across time zones, so a 12 p.m. ET and a 9 a.m. PT interview can’t surprise you
  • Prep notes, a post-interview checklist, and one tap into your calendar

Rank list

Your order. Your call.

  • Score a program only after you’ve interviewed there, against criteria you choose and weigh
  • Drag to reorder. The score is a guide and never moves a program for you
  • A countdown to the certification deadline, and your list ready to copy with program codes

Letters

Gentle, on-time nudges.

  • Follow each writer from requested to confirmed to uploaded, at your own pace
  • Request, reminder and thank-you emails written for you to copy and edit
  • Notes where a specialty asks for a standardized letter

Dates you can check

Only the dates that apply to you, each with its source.

Answer a few questions about your applicant type, specialty and time zone, and your timeline shows just what matters. Every public date links to the official page and shows when it was last verified. Critical ones always say: verify on the official site.

Our principles

Built to stay out of your way.

This season is stressful enough. A planner should be calm, honest and on your side.

You decide

We never rank programs for you, suggest where to apply or predict match odds. Rank by true preference, as the NRMP advises.

No logins

We never ask for your MyERAS, R3, Thalamus or ECFMG details, and we don’t read or automate those systems.

Independent

Not affiliated with or endorsed by AAMC, ERAS, NRMP, ECFMG, the AMA or Thalamus. Their names appear only to describe the systems you use.

Your data

What you enter is yours. Download everything or delete your account whenever you like.

How it works

Set it up in minutes. Use it all season.

  1. Tell us about you

    Applicant type, specialty, graduation year and time zone. That’s what shapes your timeline and checklists.

  2. Add as you go

    Add programs, paste invitations, track letters. Forward an interview email to your private address and review what we find.

  3. Rank when you’re ready

    Score the programs you’ve visited, order them your way, and copy your list with program codes for R3.

The Interviews page with a warning about two interviews booked at the same time, a weekly view, and a forwarding address for invitations.
Overlapping interviews are flagged for you. Screenshot with sample data.

Who it’s for

Whichever way you’re applying.

  • US MD seniors
  • US DO seniors
  • International medical graduates
  • Couples matching
  • Applying with a backup specialty

Questions

Straight answers.

Is Residency Mate connected to ERAS, NRMP or AAMC?

No. It’s an independent planner. We don’t have access to any official system, and nothing here is an official source. Always confirm deadlines on the official sites; every date in the app links to its source.

Do you need my MyERAS, R3 or Thalamus login?

Never. Residency Mate works only from what you enter and public dates. It can’t see or change anything in those systems, so you update your status here by hand and open them through links.

Will it tell me where to rank?

No. You score programs against your own criteria, and the score is only a guide. The order of your list is always yours. We don’t predict match outcomes.

Where do the dates come from?

From the official AAMC and NRMP pages. Each date shows its source and when we last checked it, and we warn you when one is getting old. For anything critical, verify on the official site.

Does it work for my specialty?

Yes, for any specialty. Some, such as Emergency Medicine, Urology and Otolaryngology, have their own letter or timeline rules, and we show sourced notes where we can confirm them. Where we can’t, we tell you to check with your specialty.

Can my partner and I use it?

Yes. Link with your partner to see each other’s ordered lists side by side. You share only your list of interviewed programs, and either of you can unlink at any time.

What happens to my data?

It’s yours. You can download all of it, or delete your account and everything in it, at any time. Read the privacy page for details.
