SF Match

AUPO members voted to establish the Ophthalmology Residency Matching Program (OMP) in November 1977 to coordinate the PGY-2 appointments for ophthalmology training programs and to relieve the pressure on applicants and Program Directors resulting from early appointments and uncoordinated appointment dates. Recently ACGME has mandated a four-year training requirement for Ophthalmology residents to include a PGY-1 year (i.e. internship). AUPO sponsors the matching process and is responsible for enforcement of applicable rules.

SF Match is a residency and fellowship matching service and is strictly limited to the processing of the match. The SF Match office does not sponsor or approve any of the participating programs.

To support clearer understanding of the 2025 SF Match results, AUPO has prepared a companion document that provides commentary and explanations for each chart, table, and graph. This resource is designed to make the data easier to interpret and apply for your own analyses.
