Prior to the 2027 match cycle, the Spring Subspecialty Residency Match (SSRM) was called the Pediatric Subspecialty Match (PSM). This match was renamed to welcome programs across a variety of disciplines wishing to participate in a Spring match. You can learn more about the change by clicking here.
The 2028 SSRM match timeline is currently under review and will be posted when available.
