AI is increasingly integrated into the residency application process, with medical students utilizing it for their applications and faculty employing it in recommendation letters. Residency program directors are also leveraging AI to manage the overwhelming number of applications for limited positions. This trend is reshaping the landscape of residency recruitment, especially as Match Day approaches.
Despite the growing use of AI, the National Resident Matching Program (NRMP) has not yet adopted AI in its matching process. Concerns about ethical dilemmas, reliability, and biases in AI systems persist among physicians. However, tools like those developed by Thalamus are enhancing the efficiency of applicant screening, indicating a significant shift in how residency programs may operate in the future.
