Abstract
A class-action lawsuit claiming that “the Match” (the National Resident Matching Program) violates antitrust laws was filed against the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education and several teaching hospitals. The author argues that the Match interferes with the free market and lowers salaries for residents, but the lawsuit may not be successful, given previous court decisions suggesting that antitrust laws apply only to conventional business situations.Keywords
