2011
Introduction
The first edition of Charting Outcomes in the Match was published in August 2006 for the Main Residency
Match® with subsequent editions 2007, 2009, and 2011. This report, modeled after its predecessor, examines
outcomes for selected fellowship Matches conducted by the National Resident Matching Program (NRMP).
NRMP's Specialties Matching Service® (SMS®) conducts Matches for advanced residency and fellowship
positions. Data in this report are for the 2011 appointment year and include 40 subspecialties participating in 20
Matches. All specialties that participated in the Specialties Matching Service are included in the overall tables and
charts, but only specialties that offered 200 or more positions or had 200 or more applicants are reported separately.
This report is a collaboration of the National Resident Matching Program and the Association of American Medical
Colleges (AAMC). Combining data from the NRMP, the AAMC’s Electronic Residency Application Service
(ERAS) and other AAMC data sources, and USMLE scores from the National Board of Medical Examiners
(NBME) and the Educational Commission for Foreign Medical Graduates (ECFMG), we identified ten applicant
characteristics that contribute to match success. Probability analysis was used to evaluate the association between
match success and contiguous ranks and USMLE Step scores. For the purposes of this report, success was 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 program.
Four applicant groups are included in the report: U.S. allopathic medical school graduates, U.S. citizen international
medical school graduates, non-U.S. citizen international medical school graduates, and graduates of osteopathic
programs. Because of the small number of applicants, the report does not include Canadian medical school
graduates and graduates of Fifth Pathway programs. Osteopathic applicants were excluded from some charts due to
the small number of observations.

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. graduates
· have higher USMLE Step 1, Step 2, and Step 3 scores
· be members of Alpha Omega Alpha Honor Medical Society (AOA)
Although some other measures seem 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 did not include other important applicant factors such as program director 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 least competitive specialties a few individuals with higher scores are not successful. Neither is a lower score a
bar to success.
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 fellowship 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.

Sources: Measures 1, 2, and match outcome are from the NRMP Data Warehouse; measures 3, 4, and 5 are from the AAMC Data Warehouse and
from the ECFMG, both by permission of the NBME and ECFMG; measures 6-10 are from the AAMC Data Warehouse.
Note: USMLE Step 1 scores are not available for most osteopathic medical school graduates included in the independent applicant group.
Table 1 provides summary statistics by applicant type and match outcome on the 10 measures presented in this report. This
table reports on all 40 fellowship specialties with 2011 appointments. For specialties with 200 or more positions or 200 or
more applicants, data on each of these measures will be displayed graphically by preferred specialty on the following pages.
Of the 10 measures, only the United States Medical Licensing Examination (USMLE) scores had significant missing data.
Overall, there were Step 1 scores for 91.5 percent of applicants, Step 2 scores for 91.8 percent and Step 3 scores for 73 percent
of the applicants. Almost all U.S. graduates and 95 percent of U.S. IMGs and non-U.S. IMGs reported their Step 1 and Step 2
scores. Only 75 percent of U.S. graduates, 74 percent of U.S. IMGs and 83 percent of the non-U.S. IMGs reported a Step 3
scores. Almost all of the osteopathic applicants did not have any USMLE scores. They either take an alternative examination
(the Comprehensive Osteopathic Medical Licensing Examination, or COMLEX-USA) or they take the USMLE exams but
those data are not shared with the AAMC.

Chart 2 shows the ratios of applicants to available positions in each specialty for the four applicant types: U.S. graduates, U.S. international medical graduates,
non-U.S. international medical graduates, and osteopathic graduates. Take Cardiovascular Disease for example, for each available position there were, on average, 0.7
previous U.S. graduate, 0.2 U.S. international medical graduate, 0.6 non-U.S. international medical graduate, and 0.1 osteopathic graduate who ranked the specialty
first on their Rank Order List. For Infectious Disease and Neonatal-Perinatal Medicine, there were more available positions than applicants who preferred the
specialty. In comparison, for each Gastronenterology or Cardiovascular Disease position there were more than 1.5 applicants who preferred that specialty.

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. Chart 4 provides the
median number of contiguous ranks by preferred specialty for each applicant type who matched and did not match. In general, matched applicants had longer
contiguous ranks across the applicant types. The principal message of these graphs is that applicants with longer rank order lists are more successful than those with
shorter ones.

Most of the fellowship applicants were only interested in one specialty. However, some Matches included more than one specialty and applicants were able to apply
to multiple specialties. For example, applicants could apply to both Hematology and Hematology/Oncology in the Medical Specialties Matching Program (MSMP).
Applicants could also participate in different specialty Matches in the same year. Chart 5 displays the average number of different specialties ranked by applicant
type, preferred specialty, and match outcome.

Chart 6 displays the Step 1 scores for matched applicants 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. Overall, previous U.S. graduates have mean USMLE Step 1 scores of 221.7
(s.d. = 19.7) and U.S. international medical graduates have mean scores of 212.4 (s.d. = 18.5), and non-U.S. international medical graduates have mean scores 223.6
(s.d.=18.8).

The ERAS application allows applicants to self-report their participation in research projects. These experiences are not verified nor evaluated and may vary greatly.
Chart 9 shows the average number of research experiences after they received their most recent degree by applicant type, preferred specialty, and match
outcome.U.S. graduates averaged 0.3 research experiences with 72.0 percent reporting at least one experience. U.S. international medical graduates and non-U.S.
international medical graduates both reported, on average, more experiences (0.7 and 1.0), and larger percentages (89.3% and 88.3%) listed having any research

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, presentations, or publications, sometimes dozens or even hundreds. Overall, the
U.S. graduates reported an average of 2.7 publications, U.S. international medical graduates reported 3.8 and non-U.S. international medical graduates 5.5
publications. Chart 10 shows the average number of publications by applicant type, preferred specialty, and match outcome.

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 13 is reported only for U.S. graduates.
Data on AOA membership are self-reported on the ERAS application. Even for U.S. graduates, 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. Overall, 12.3 percent of U.S.
graduates included in this report claimed AOA membership on their ERAS application. Among applicants who matched to their preferred specialty, 13.8 percent
reported AOA membership, compared to 4.5 percent of unmatched applicants.
