TITLE 15—COMMERCE AND TRADE
§ 38
to make an informed decision about a med-
ical specialty or a residency program and be-
fore residency programs could make an in-
formed assessment of students’ qualifica-
tions. This situation was inefficient, cha-
otic, and unfair and it often led to place-
ments that did not serve the interests of ei-
ther medical students or residency pro-
grams.
(C) The original matching program, now
operated by the independent non-profit Na-
tional Resident Matching Program and pop-
ularly known as ‘‘the Match’’, was developed
and implemented more than 50 years ago in
response to widespread student complaints
about the prior process. This Program in-
cludes on its board of directors individuals
nominated by medical student organizations
as well as by major medical education and
hospital associations.
(D) The Match uses a computerized mathe-
matical algorithm, as students had rec-
ommended, to analyze the preferences of
students and residency programs and match
students with their highest preferences from
among the available positions in residency
programs that listed them. Students thus
obtain a residency position in the most high-
ly ranked program on their list that has
ranked them sufficiently high among its
preferences. Each year, about 85 percent of
participating United States medical stu-
dents secure a place in one of their top 3
residency program choices.
(E) Antitrust lawsuits challenging the
matching process, regardless of their merit
or lack thereof, have the potential to under-
mine this highly efficient, pro-competitive,
and long-standing process. The costs of de-
fending such litigation would divert the
scarce resources of our country’s teaching
hospitals and medical schools from their
crucial missions
