Charting Outcomes in the Match: U.S. Allopathic Seniors, 2018

2018 Introduction

iiCopyright ©2018 NRMP. Reproduction prohibited without the written permission of the NRMP.

BackgroundThe first edition of Charting Outcomes in the Match was published in August 2006 to document how applicant qualifications affect success in the Main Residency Match®. The report was published biennially between 2007 and 2011 and was a collaboration of theNational Resident Matching Program® (NRMP®) and the Association of American Medical Colleges® (AAMC®). Match outcome data from the NRMP were combined with applicant characteristics from the AAMC’s Electronic Residency Application Service (ERAS®) and United States Medical Licensing Examination (USMLE®) scores from the AAMC data warehouse. In 2014, NRMP added a Professional Profile section to its Match registration process to collect USMLE scores and other applicant characteristics and those have been used to independently publish all subsequent Charting Outcomes in the Match reports.

Prior to 2016, this report examined the Match success of only two applicant groups: senior students from U.S. allopathic medical schools and independent applicants. Independent applicants included all applicant types other than U.S. seniors: previous graduates of U.S. allopathic medical schools, students/graduates of osteopathic medical schools, students/graduates of Fifth Pathway programs, students/graduates of Canadian medical schools, and U.S. citizen and non-U.S. citizen students/graduates of international medical schools. Because independent applicants are a heterogeneous group, a decision was made in 2016 to report data separately for U.S. allopathic medical school seniors, students/graduates of osteopathic medical schools, U.S. citizen students/graduates of international medical schools, and non-U.S. citizen students/graduates of international medical schools. In 2018, senior students of osteopathic medical schools are reported separately, and there is no report for osteopathic medical school graduates because their numbers are so small.

This report examines the characteristics of U.S. allopathic seniors.

DataMatch success, specialty preference, and ranking information were collected through the Main Residency Match. The 40 U.S. medical schools receiving the highest totals of National Institutes of Health (NIH) grants were obtained from the NIH website. Other applicant characteristics, including USMLE Step 1 and Step 2 CK scores, academic degrees, publications, Alpha Omega Alpha Honor Medical Society (AOA) membership, and research, and work and volunteer experiences, were self-reported through the Professional Profile section of the NRMP’s Applicant Registration Form for the Match. To complete the form, applicants were asked to answer the questions as they did in their ERAS Common Application Form (CAF). Completion of the form was optional, and applicants who completed the form could consent or decline to participate in NRMP research. Data collection for the self-reported Professional Profile section was granted exemption by the Chesapeake (now Advarra) Institutional Review Board (IRB).

A total of 18,818 U.S. allopathic seniors submitted certified rank order lists in the 2018 Main Residency Match. After excluding the 7.0 percent of U.S. allopathic seniors who did not give consent to participate in NRMP research, 17,497 applicants were included in the final dataset. Missing data were found in Step 1 scores (1.1% missing), Step 2 CK scores (3.1%), number of research experiences (10.1%), number of abstracts, presentations, and publications (10.2%), number of work experiences (11.7%), number of volunteer experiences (11.5%), Ph.D. degree (4.7%), other graduate degree (5.2%), and AOA membership (5.9%).

To ensure that USMLE Step scores were not misreported, the NRMP asked medical schools to verify the scores of their U.S. senior students. In 2018, 95 percent of the Step 1 scores and 96 percent of the Step 2 CK scores used in this report were verified, corrected, or supplied by U.S. medical schools. Because the self-reported scores are highly accurate (the intracorrelation coefficient (ICC) between the self-reported scores and school-verified scores was 0.986 (99% CI [0.986, 0.987]) for Step 1 scores and 0.982 (99% CI [0.981, 0.983]) for Step 2 CK scores), both verified and unverified scores were used to prepare this report.

MethodsSpecialties that offered 50 or more positions in the 2018 Main Residency Match are included in this report. Over the years, specialties have been added to the report, including Otolaryngology and Neurology in 2007, Neurological Surgery in 2009, Child Neurology and Vascular Surgery in 2014, and Interventional Radiology in 2018. Transitional Year programs were excluded beginning with the 2011 report because they are not viewed as a specialty choice.

Twelve measures are incorporated in this report. Probability analysis using a simple logistic regression model was introduced in 2009 to evaluate the relationship between Match success and contiguous ranks and USMLE Step 1 scores. Probability analyses in this report used data on U.S. seniors who participated in the Match in 2016, 2017, and 2018.

It is important to note that for purposes of this report, Match success is defined as a match to the specialty of the applicant’s first-ranked program, or "preferred specialty," 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 the first, second, third, or lower choice program.

SummarySome general observations apply to all specialties in this report. U.S. allopathic seniors who are successful in matching to their preferred specialty are more likely to: Rank more programs within their preferred specialty Have higher USMLE Step 1 and Step 2 scores Be members of Alpha Omega Alpha Honor Medical Society

Although other measures seem to be related to Match success for some specialties, the relationships are not consistent enough to draw broad conclusions across specialties. In addition, the data sources used for Charting Outcomes in the Match do not include other important applicant factors such as course evaluations, reference letters, and the Medical School Performance Evaluation (MSPE).

Despite the fairly strong relationship between USMLE Step scores and Match success, the distributions of scores show that program directors consider other qualifications. A high score is not a guarantee of success, and a low score is not a bar to success. Even in the most competitive specialties a few individuals with high scores are not successful. 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 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, have the highest USMLE scores,

have publications, or 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.

In general, applicants are more likely to be successful if they rank more programs in their desired specialty. 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 (contiguous ranks).

Chart 4 displays the median number of contiguous ranks by preferred specialty for U.S. allopathic seniors who matched anddid not match to their preferred specialty. The chart shows considerable variation across the specialties for U.S. seniors.Vascular Surgery had the longest average contiguous rank list (18) for matched U.S. seniors and Interventional Radiology hadthe shortest (4). For all specialties, U.S. seniors who matched to their preferred specialty had median contiguous rank lists thatwere longer than those of U.S. seniors who did not match.

The principal message of this chart is that applicants with longer rank order lists are more successful than those with shorterones. The NRMP has been recommending longer lists 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 theycould 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 applythat knowledge to the practice of medicine. Although such knowledge is only one facet of applicant qualifications consideredby program directors in their selection process, a Step 1 score is the only qualification that is universally available for allapplicants during the interview season and prior to the NRMP’s ranking deadline. Overall, U.S. allopathic seniors who matched to their preferred specialty have mean USMLE Step 1 scores of 232.8 (s.d. = 17.5) well above the 2018 minimum passing score of 194. Step 1 scores were available for 99 percent of U.S. seniors who gave consent to research.

Chart 6 displays the Step 1 scores for U.S. allopathic seniors by specialty and match status. The horizontal bars are themedian values for successful applicants and the vertical lines show the interquartile ranges (IQR, 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.

Across all specialties, the IQR of U.S. seniors who matched to their preferred specialties was higher than those who did notmatch.

USMLE Step 2 CK 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. allopathic seniors who matched to their preferred specialty had mean USMLE Step 2 CK scores of 245.6 (s.d. = 15.0) well above the 2018 minimum passing score of 209. Step 2 CK scores were available for 97 percent of U.S. seniors who gave consent to research.

Chart 7 shows the Step 2 CK scores for U.S. seniors by preferred specialty and match status. 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 CK scores, but the overall variation is smaller.

Across all specialties, the IQR of U.S. seniors who matched to their preferred specialties was higher than those who did not match.

Mean Number of Abstracts, Presentations, and Publications of U.S. Allopathic Seniorsby Preferred Specialty and Match Status

Applicants were asked to list the number of abstracts, presentations, and publications they reported in their ERASapplications. 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 forapplicants in whom they have an interest, but most probably do not.

Many applicants report abstracts, presentations, 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 showsthe average number of publications by preferred specialty and Match outcome.

U.S. seniors averaged 5.8 publications, with 78.0 percent reporting this information. Matched U.S. seniors had a higher mean number of abstracts, presentations, and publications in all specialties but Internal Medicine/Pediatrics, Neurology, Pathology, and Plastic Surgery.

Membership in Alpha Omega Alpha (AOA) Honor Medical Society is an honor reserved for students with high academicachievement. AOA membership is limited to students in medical schools that sponsor an AOA chapter. Most, but not all,allopathic schools in the United States participate. An analysis of its relationship with success in the Match is limited by therelatively small number of applicants who are members, by the fact that some schools do not have AOA chapters, and by thefact that other schools elect AOA members too late in the academic year for it to be considered in the application process.

Data on AOA membership are self-reported. Overall, 16.7 percent of U.S. seniors included in this report claimed AOA membership. Among applicants who matched to their preferred specialty, 17.0 percent reported AOA membership, compared to 6.4 percent of unmatched applicants.

As with several of the other measures, the most competitive specialties are able to attract the greatest proportion of AOAmembers. All specialties attract some AOA applicants, but for most specialties AOA members account for fewer than one infour successful applicants.

Some program directors may give preference to applicants with research experience or who graduated from a research-intensive medical school. To test that assumption, we obtained data on the amount of NIH grant awards and identified the 40 schools with the highest NIH funding. This measure, by definition, is limited to students of U.S. medical schools. Overall, 31.9 percent of matched and 22.5 percent of unmatched U.S. seniors were graduates of one of the 40 medical schools with the highest NIH funding.

Chart 13 shows the percentage of U.S. allopathic seniors who graduated from those schools by specialty and Matchoutcome. For example, 31 percent of U.S. seniors who matched in Anesthesiology were graduates of one of the 40 medical schools with the highest NIH funding, and 26 percent of seniors who did not match in Anesthesiology were graduates ofthose schools.

Dermatology had the highest percentage of matched U.S. seniors who were graduates of a medical school with the highest NIH funding. Neurological Surgery, Plastic Surgery, and Radiation Oncology also had higher percentages of matchedapplicants from those schools compared to the other specialties. For all specialties except Pathology and Physical Medicineand Rehabilitation, smaller percentages of seniors who did not match to their preferred specialty were graduates of amedical school with the highest NIH funding compared to seniors who matched.

*NIH funding information was obtained from NIH website: http://report.nih.gov/award/index.cfm.

Chart 14 shows by preferred specialty and match status the percentage of U.S. allopathic seniors who have a Ph.D. and/or other graduate degrees. Pathology, Radiation Oncology, Neurological Surgery, Neurology, and Child Neurology had thehighest percentages of matched U.S. seniors with a Ph.D. degree. For most specialties, the percentage of unmatched U.S. seniors who have other graduate degrees was higher than that of their matched counterparts.
