APPIC MATCH NEWS
---
As of December 31, 2018, the total numbers of applicants and internship
sites registered to participate in the 2019 APPIC Match were:
*ALL PARTICIPANTS (U.S. AND CANADA)*
• 3,753 registered applicants (+67 as compared to 2018)
• 3,902 positions offered (-23 as compared to 2018)
- Accredited: 3,436 (+63)
- Unaccredited: 466 (-86)
• 788 registered internship sites (-6 as compared to 2018)
- APPIC Members: 747 (+2)
- Non-APPIC Members: 41 (-8)
*CANADA ONLY*
• 184 registered applicants (+16 as compared to 2018)
• 186 positions offered (+23 as compared to 2018)
- Accredited: 155 (+7)
- Unaccredited: 31 (+16)
• 48 registered internship sites (+7 as compared to 2018)
IMPORTANT NOTE: These numbers change daily and are only a "snapshot" as of
December 31 of each year. As discussed in the comments below, the final
numbers of participating sites, positions, and applicants will be
significantly different from those presented above.
----------------------------
*WHAT DO THESE NUMBERS MEAN?*
• While the number of internship positions (3,902) continues to exceed the
number of registered applicants (3,753), that gap narrowed somewhat this
year. Please note, however, that this does NOT mean that all applicants
will get placed in Phase I.
• Based on previous experience, we know that over 175 students withdraw
from the Match each year after registering (applicants withdraw from the
Match for a variety of reasons, such as not having received any interview
offers, deciding to delay their internship until another year, seeking or
obtaining a position outside the APPIC Match, etc.). Thus, as in previous
years, these withdrawals will increase the gap described in the previous
bullet point.
• The number of *accredited* positions continued to grow (to 3,436) but at
a slower rate than seen in the last five years. Nevertheless, accredited
positions now represent 88% of all registered positions, an all-time high.
The number of non-accredited positions continued to decrease (to 466) and
is now about half the amount as compared to four years ago (940).
• Despite the improvement, the number of *accredited* positions remains
lower than the number of registered applicants (3,436 vs. 3,753) and
continues to be a concern.
• In Canada, a significant increase in applicants (to 184) occurred this
year along with a similar increase in available positions (to 186), leaving
those numbers nearly balanced. However, about two-thirds of the additional
positions are not accredited, and 83% of positions in Canada are accredited
(vs. 91% last year).
