To Applicants of the Preliminary Program:
In March 2009, the NRMP determined that the Preliminary Program in Medicine's
interview of an applicant was a violation of its Match Agreement. We have
appealed this determination and arbitration of the dispute has been scheduled
for November 2009. The sanction imposed by the NRPM is to have the
preliminary program listed as a "match violator" for one year on its website.
We hope the arbitration results in removal of that designation. However, we
want to assure you that the Preliminary program is in no danger of losing
accreditation or being removed from the match.
