agree with azygous. If you informed in your CAF, otherwise after receiving an interview you can call the program and ask if they can check your partners' file, or ask during your interview if they can check it.

Lots of people NEED to know my program. A few do. Why wouldn't a program be helpful? We want happy and talented residents.

Hi, ManuNastai,

I'm applying to IM as a couple this year. We have similar credentials. We applied to 50 programs and I believe we are doing well, my wife got 10 IVs and I got 9 IVs so far. So, there was only one pg which called her and didn't call me.

I think there's no problem applying as a couple cause the match system allows a variety of options as explained Prueba.

I hope I will come back here with good news!

GL.

NRMP website says"When two individuals are registered for the same Specialties Matching Service match, they may participate in that Match as a couple."
