ACLS (Advanced Cardiovascular Life Support) and BLS (Basic Life Support) certifications are typically required for a good residency match in the USMLE 

Patient Care Competency: These certifications ensure that medical professionals are equipped with the necessary skills to handle emergency situations effectively, thereby enhancing patient care and safety.

Clinical Preparedness: Residency Match programs prioritize candidates who demonstrate proficiency in ACLS and BLS protocols as it reflects their readiness to handle critical scenarios commonly encountered in medical practice.

Residency Program Requirements: Many residency programs have specific prerequisites, and ACLS/BLS certifications are often among them. Fulfilling these requirements demonstrates your eligibility and commitment to the program.

Professional Development: Obtaining ACLS and BLS certifications not only enhances your clinical skills but also indicates your dedication to ongoing professional development, which is highly valued by residency programs.

Competitive Advantage: In a competitive residency match environment, having ACLS and BLS certifications can distinguish you from other candidates and strengthen your application.
