WASHINGTON, July 13, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- The National Resident Matching Program (NRMP) is pleased to announce the newly elected individuals to its Board of Directors. Since 2006, the 19-member NRMP Board has comprised medical school deans, clinical program directors, physicians in residency and fellowship training, medical students, and one public member.

New terms began July 1, 2021.
"For years, the NRMP Board has sought out and elected individuals who could bring unique experiences and perspectives to the issues facing the organization. Those elected for July 2021 appointments are no different. They are highly qualified, and they also represent constituencies of the academic medical community that help the NRMP Board ensure broad representation in order to understand, respond to, and succeed on behalf of all stakeholders," said Immediate Past Chair of the NRMP Board of Directors, Dr. Steven J. Scheinman.
The term for directors is four years, with a maximum of two terms. The term for resident/fellow and student directors is two years. Listed alphabetically, the new members include:
