What this paper is

This paper reports National Resident Matching Program (NRMP) statistics for Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation residency applicants from 2010 to 2020. It describes trends in the number of programs, positions, applicants, and match rates, along with demographic and score data. It does not involve patient outcomes, clinical interventions, or therapeutic techniques, so there are no findings that would change clinical practice for physical therapists, occupational therapists, or speech-language pathologists.
