The U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia on January 25 denied three former residents' attempt to revive antitrust claims originally filed in 2002 against organizations supporting and participating in the National Resident Match Program (NRMP).
The decision, which followed an August 2004 court decision to dismiss the lawsuit, means residency programs and residents can expect few surprises-at least in regard to the matching process-on National Match Day, which will take place as usual on March 18th. However, the prosecution does still have time to appeal the verdict, explains Joseph Keyes, senior vice president and general counsel for the AAMC.
