Congratulations to all our EMIGs and graduating students! The impact and strength of osteopathic applicants representing emergency medicine is undeniable.
According to data from the National Resident Matching Program (NRMP), 1,078 osteopathic applicants matched into Emergency Medicine positions in the 2025 Match—the highest number recorded since the transition to the single accreditation system. Out of 3,068 EM positions offered this year, 3,003 were filled, bringing the specialty’s fill rate to an impressive 97.9%.
Emergency Medicine continues to rebound, with fill rates climbing steadily from 81.8% in 2023 to 95.5% in 2024, and now returning to pre-pandemic norms.
ACOEP is proud of our student and resident representation. Your success in this year’s Match reinforces the vital role that osteopathic physicians play in the future of emergency medicine. We’re honored to stand beside you as you begin this next chapter of training and leadership.
The future of emergency medicine is bright—and osteopathic.
