29 Introduction The first edition of Charting Outcomes in the Match was published in August 26 using data from the 25 Main Residency Match. The second edition, published in August 27 and based on the 27 Match, built on the original report by adding two specialties (Otolaryngology and Neurology), incorporating several additional measures, and conducting regression analyses to predict match success. The 29 report is based on the 29 Match and includes one new specialty (Neurological Surgery) and two new measures (number of work and volunteer experiences). For this edition, the regression analyses have been replaced with two graphs for each specialty showing the relationship between the number of contiguous programs ranked (number of programs in the firstchoice specialty before another specialty appears on the rank order list) and USMLE Step 1 scores and the probability of matching to the preferred specialty. These changes should provide more useful information for applicants and advisors as they prepare for the Match. For the purposes of this report, match success is defined as a match to the specialty of the applicant s first-ranked program, because that is assumed to be the specialty of choice. Lack of success includes matching to another specialty as well as failure to match at all. No distinction was made based on whether applicants matched to their first, second, third, or last choice. Combining data from the NRMP, the database of AAMC s Electronic Residency Application Service (ERAS), USMLE scores made available by the National Board of Medical Examiners (NBME) and the Educational Commission for Foreign Medical Graduates (ECFMG), and other AAMC data sources, we identified twelve applicant characteristics. NBME and ECFMG have granted permission to use USMLE scores, and the National Resident Matching Program and the Association of American Medical Colleges have collaborated to produce this report. Because graduating seniors from U.S. allopathic medical schools match at higher rates than do other applicant groups, and because some of those groups contain small numbers of applicants, this report distinguishes only two types of applicants: U.S. seniors and independent applicants. 1 It should be noted, however, that the independent applicant category is a heterogeneous group. Moreover, because independent applicants match to their preferred specialties at much lower rates than do U.S. seniors, the specialty-specific probability graphs for independent applicants are less predictive of success. Summary Some general observations apply to all of the specialties in this report. Applicants who are successful in matching to their preferred specialty are more likely to: Rank more programs within their preferred specialty Be U.S. seniors Have higher USMLE Step 1 and Step 2 scores Be members of AOA Although some other measures seemed to be related to match success for some specialties, the relationships were not consistent enough to draw broad conclusions across specialties. In addition, the data sources used for Charting Outcomes do not include other important applicant factors such as course evaluations, reference letters, and the Medical School Performance Evaluation. Despite the fairly strong relationship between USMLE Step scores and match success, the distributions of scores show that program directors consider other qualifications, and a high score is not a guarantee of success. Even in the most competitive specialties a few individuals with higher scores are not successful. Neither is a lower score a bar to success. In the less competitive specialties, U.S. seniors with scores slightly above passing usually match to their preferred specialties. The data also are reassuring because they indicate that at least some programs do not employ an arbitrary cutoff or decline to consider applicants with less than excellent test performance. The data in this report support the following straightforward advice one should give to an applicant. Rank all of the programs you really want, without regard to your estimate of your chances with those programs. Include a mix of both highly competitive and less competitive programs within your preferred specialty. Include all of the programs on your list where the program has expressed an interest in you and where you would accept a position. If you are applying to a competitive specialty and you would want to have a residency position in the event you are unsuccessful in matching to a program in your preferred specialty, also rank your most preferred programs in an alternate specialty. Include all of your qualifications in your application, but know that you do not have to be AOA, to have the highest USMLE scores, to have publications, or to have participated in research projects to match successfully. Program directors and applicants will find the tables and charts for the specialty of their particular interest later in this report.

Note: USMLE Step 1 scores are not available for most osteopathic medical school graduates included in the independent applicant group. Approximately 3 percent of U.S. allopathic medical school seniors do not take the USMLE Step 2 prior to the Match. Table 2 provides summary statistics by applicant type and match outcome on the 12 measures presented in this report. Data on each of these measures will be displayed graphically by preferred specialty on the following pages. Of the 12 measures, only the United States Medical Licensing Examination (USMLE) Step 1 and Step 2 scores had significant missing data. Overall, there were Step 1 scores for 92.9 percent of applicants. Almost all of the applicants who did not have Step 1 scores were osteopathic medical school seniors and graduates who either take an alternative examination (the Comprehensive Osteopathic Medical Licensing Examination, or COMLEX-USA) or who take the USMLE exams but whose data are not shared with the AAMC. Step 2 scores were available for 79. percent of the applicants. In addition to missing Step 2 scores for the osteopathic applicants, only 73.2 percent of U.S. seniors had Step 2 scores. The missing data for U.S. seniors can be attributed to the fact that few medical schools require students to take and/or pass the Step 2 examination prior to the NRMP's rank order list deadline.

To quantify this aspect of applicant behavior, we tallied the number of programs ranked in the first-choice specialty before a program in another specialty appeared on the applicant's rank order list. Chart 4 provides the median number of contiguous ranks by preferred specialty for U.S. seniors and independent applicants who matched and did not match. The top panel shows significant variation across the specialties for U.S. seniors. Neurological Surgery had the longest average contiguous rank list for matched U.S. seniors (13) and Family Medicine (6) and Transitional Year (2) had the shortest. In general, U.S. senior applicants who preferred the more competitive specialties submitted longer contiguous lists. For all specialties U.S. seniors who matched to their preferred specialty had median contiguous rank lists that were longer than U.S. seniors who did not match. A similar pattern can be found for independent applicants, although their lists are shorter than the lists submitted by U.S. seniors. Independent applicants who matched had longer contiguous lists compared with independent applicants who did not match to their preferred specialty. The principal message of these graphs is that applicants with longer rank order lists are more successful than those with shorter ones. The NRMP has been recommending longer list for many years, but some applicants apparently do not heed the advice. Others may have shorter lists because they found only a few programs willing to entertain their applications or because they could not afford a large number of interview trips.

USMLE Step 1 scores are a measure of a student s understanding of important basic science concepts and the ability to apply that knowledge to the practice of medicine. Although such knowledge is only one facet of applicant qualifications considered by program directors in their selection process, it is the only one that is comparable across applicants, and available during the interview season and prior to the NRMP s ranking deadline. Overall, U.S. senior applicants have mean USMLE Step 1 scores of 224.3 (s.d. = 19.6) and independent applicants have mean scores of 211. (s.d. = 19.7), both well above the minimum passing score of 182. Chart 6 displays the Step 1 scores for matched U.S. seniors (top panel) and independent applicants (bottom panel) by specialty. The horizontal bars are the median values for successful applicants and the vertical lines show the interquartile ranges (the range of scores for applicants excluding the top and bottom quarters of the distribution). Scores generally are higher for the more competitive specialties, but there is substantial overlap when specialties are compared. Copyright 29 NRMP and AAMC.

USMLE scores by permission of the NBME and ECFMG. USMLE Step 2 scores are a measure of an applicant's ability to apply the medical knowledge, skills, and understanding of clinical science essential for providing patient care. Overall, U.S. senior applicants had mean USMLE step 2 scores of 229.7 (s.d. = 21.8) and independent applicants had mean scores of 213.4 (s.d. = 21.3), both well above the minimum passing score of 182. Chart 7 shows the Step 2 scores for matched U.S. seniors (top panel) and independent applicants (bottom panel) who matched by preferred specialty. The horizontal bars are the median values for successful applicants and the vertical lines show the interquartile ranges. As was the case for the Step 1 scores, the more competitive specialties have higher average Step 2 scores. For some specialties (e.g., Plastic Surgery, Family Medicine) the differences in median Step 2 scores between matched U.S. seniors and independent applicants are quite dramatic; other specialties (e.g., Neurological Surgery, Anesthesiology) show only minor differences.

The ERAS application also permits applicants to list their publications. This information is self-reported and may include peer-reviewed articles, abstracts, poster sessions, and invited national or regional presentations. Some residency programs may independently verify and even review publications for applicants in whom they have an interest, but most probably do not. Many applicants report abstracts, presentation, or publications, sometimes dozens or even hundreds. In the individual specialty sections, we distinguish between no publications, 1 to 5 publications, and more than 5 publications. Chart 9 shows the average number of publications by applicant type, preferred specialty, and match outcome. U.S. seniors averaged 2.9 publications with 64. percent reporting at least one publication. Independent applicants reported, on average, slightly fewer experiences (2.6); however, a smaller percentage (48.7%) listed any publications. As one might expect, the averages are higher for the more competitive specialties. And for Dermatology, Neurological Surgery, Plastic Surgery, and Radiation Oncology matched U.S. seniors reported significantly more publications when compared with unmatched seniors. Independent applicants followed a similar pattern. Copyright 29 NRMP and AAMC. Copies may be made for educational or noncommercial uses only. 12 Charting Outcomes in the Match, 29

Chart 11 provides the average number of volunteer experiences reported on the ERAS application by applicant type, preferred specialty, and match outcome. U.S. seniors who matched to Internal Medicine/Pediatrics averaged significantly more volunteer experiences than did unmatched seniors who preferred that specialty (7.8 versus 4.8). U.S. seniors in all specialties averaged more volunteer experiences when compared to unmatched seniors in the same specialties, with several averaging at least one more experience. A similar pattern can be found for independent applicants. applicants generally had more volunteer experiences when compared to unmatched applicants. Overall, U.S. seniors averaged twice as many volunteer experiences compared to independent applicants (6.2 versus 2.9), and a higher percentage of U.S. seniors (95.2% versus 72.2%) reported at least one volunteer experience.

Membership in Alpha Omega Alpha (AOA), the national medical honor society, is an honor reserved for students with high academic achievement. AOA membership is limited to students in medical schools that sponsor an AOA chapter. Most, but not all, allopathic schools in the U.S. and Canada participate, and there is one foreign chapter in Beirut. Among the independent applicants, only graduate U.S. physicians, Canadians, and a small number of others could legitimately claim membership. For that reason, AOA status for each specialty in Chart 9 is reported only for U.S. seniors. Data on AOA membership are self-reported on the ERAS application. Even for U.S. seniors, however, an analysis of its relationship with success in the Match is limited by the relatively small number of applicants who are members, by the fact that some schools do not have AOA chapters, and by the fact that other schools elect AOA members too late in the academic year for it to be considered in the application process. Overall, 14.7 percent of U.S. seniors included in this report claimed AOA membership on their ERAS application. Among applicants who matched to their preferred specialty, 15.3 percent reported AOA membership, compared to 6.3 percent of unmatched applicants. As with several of the other measures, the most competitive specialties are able to attract the greatest proportion of AOA members. All specialties attract some AOA applicants, but for most specialties AOA members account for fewer than one in five successful applicants. Copyright 29 NRMP and AAMC.

Total awards include both direct and indirect costs. Awards to the 127 U.S. allopathic medical schools ranged from $1.8 to $422 million. The 4 medical schools with the highest NIH funding received $1 million or more. Some program directors may give preference to applicants with research experience or who graduated from a research-intensive medical school. To test this assumption, we obtained data on the amount of NIH grant awards and identified the 4 schools with the highest NIH funding ($1 million or more). This measure, by definition, is limited to graduates of U.S. medical schools. Overall, 35. percent of matched and 29.4 percent of unmatched U.S. seniors were graduates of one of the 4 medical schools with the highest NIH funding. Chart 13 shows the percentage of U.S. seniors who graduated from those schools by specialty and match outcome. For example, 32 percent of U.S. seniors who matched in Anesthesiology were graduates of one of the 4 medical schools with the highest NIH funding and 25 percent of seniors who did not match in Anesthesiology were graduates of those schools. Radiation Oncology had the highest percentage of matched U.S. seniors who were graduates of a medical school with the highest NIH funding. Plastic Surgery, Dermatology, Neurological Surgery, and Transitional Year also had higher percentages of matched applicants from those schools compared to the other specialties. For all specialties except Internal Medicine/Pediatrics and Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation, smaller percentages of seniors who did not match to their preferred specialty were graduates of a medical school with the highest NIH funding compared to seniors who matched. The average across all specialties and match outcome was 34.2 percent. Copyright 29 NRMP and AAMC.
