The Medical Physics Residency Application Program (MP-RAP) is intended to standardize and simplify the physics residency application process, allowing applicants to easily apply to multiple physics residency programs. MP-RAP is sponsored by AAPM, which also sponsors the MedPhys Match, a matching system for residency applicants and programs. Both MP-RAP and MedPhys Match are designed to facilitate the process of application and acceptance into CAMPEP-accredited residency programs.

Many residency programs that use MedPhys Match to fill their positions also use MP-RAP to collect applications but using MP-RAP is not required to participate in the MedPhys Match. During the MedPhys Match recruitment season (approximately October to March), MP-RAP is restricted to residency programs participating in MedPhys Match.

About AAPM Residency Services

The MP-RAP (Medical Physics Residency Application Program) is a program started by AAPM (https://www.aapm.org/org/structure/default.asp?committee_code=SCOMM) and SDAMPP (https://sdampp.org/) to do three things: 1) Make it easier for applicants to apply for residency programs; 2) reduce administrative burden for residency programs that have to process these applications; and 3) provide a mechanism that will allow programs to work towards a match system, putting applicants in their preferred programs, and getting preferred applicants into participating programs. For positions available from June to December, a matching program, MedPhys Match (https://natmatch.com/medphys/), is available to facilitate the last goal.
