so, this whole "matching" thing is a coordinated effort among all medical schools and all hospitals who are taking residents?
Yea. It is a big computer algorithm that matches student rankings with program rankings.

Scruffy doesn't pretend to understand how it all works. He has a basic idea, but its complicated.

This is probably the best/most well thought out attempt at an explanation written at the level that most anyone could understand that I've seen, in case anyone wants a detailed "basic idea" behind it.
