Find Match Day Apartments for NYC Medical Residents with Amo Realty
Of the many milestones passed along the way to achieving a medical degree, being matched with a residency program is among the most exciting. After three years of intense study and work, the time finally comes to find out where you will be completing the next exciting phase of your journey. If you are fortunate enough to be placed at a prestigious hospital in New York City, you’ll want to get started finding a place to rent as soon as possible. With help from Amo Realty, you can secure the perfect NYC rental close to the hospital where you’ll perform your residency.
Residency Match Day
Like many medical students, you may have applied to residency programs in a single city or region. With so many top-tier hospitals and medical centers, New York is a natural place to gravitate to during such times. Whether you applied for residencies at Mount Sinai, Westchester Medical Center, Columbia University Medical Center or SUNY Downstate Medical Center, it’s important to act quickly to secure apartment rentals in your desired neighborhood. Whether you’re moving from across the country or just from across the city, it’s essential to line up the right help to find what you need fast.
Every year on the third Friday in March, medical students across the country find out where they will be completing their residencies. The National Residency Matching Program (NRMP) announces the Main Residency Match results for more than 44,000 registrants across more than 37,000 positions. For more than 70 years, the NRMP has been responsible for this annual rite of passage, helping medical students across the country find suitable residency opportunities across thousands of positions and hundreds of institutions.
Near the start of their fourth year of medical school, medical students apply to and interview with hospitals and other institutions where they are interested in receiving their training. Like many med students, you may have zeroed in on NYC for its huge concentration of prestigious medical schools, hospitals, and institutions. If so, it’s crucial to determine which programs top your list – and where they are located.
Selecting the Right Program – Consider the Neighborhood
When considering residency programs in NYC, it’s wise to also consider the neighborhood where the institution is located. Renting apartments in NYC varies widely depending on where you are looking, so it pays to have this information at the front of your mind when starting your search.
Many major teaching hospitals and medical centers are located in Manhattan, which is then broken up into dozens of smaller neighborhoods. You could easily apply to residency programs that are scattered not just across Manhattan but across all of NYC. For instance, you might apply at Columbia University Medical Center near Midtown Manhattan and at Lincoln Hospital in the Bronx. Depending on where you end up, you will need to look at different apartments in different places. In that case, it pays to have a knowledgeable expert by your side. Amo Realty is here to help.
Getting Your Match
After interviewing with and considering several residency programs, medical students must rank their selected programs from most desired to least desired. If you’re hoping for a residency in New York City, keep the various locations of each program in mind as you apply your rankings.
At the same time, residency programs across the U.S. peruse candidate profiles and resumes, ranking candidates according to their top picks. From there, the NRMP uses complex mathematical algorithms to place candidates with residency and fellowship positions across the country.
On the third Friday in March, you will receive your residency assignment. In 2023, the date fell on March 17. In 2024, it will happen on March 15. By the end of the day, you’ll know where you’re going next on your medical training journey – and you’ll need to start looking for an NYC apartment to rent.
