2011 Introduction
ii Charting Outcomes in the Match, SMS, 2013
The first edition of Charting Outcomes in the Match was
published in August 2006 for the Main ResidencyMatch with
subsequent editions 2007, 2009, and 2011. This report, modeled
after its predecessor, examinesoutcomes for selected fellowship
Matches conducted by the National Resident Matching Program
(NRMP).
NRMP's Specialties Matching Service (SMS) conducts Matches for
advanced residency and fellowshippositions. Data in this report are
for the 2011 appointment year and include 40 subspecialties
participating in 20Matches. All specialties that participated in
the Specialties Matching Service are included in the overall tables
andcharts, 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 MedicalColleges (AAMC).
Combining data from the NRMP, the AAMCs 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 applicantcharacteristics that contribute to match
success. Probability analysis was used to evaluate the association
betweenmatch success and contiguous ranks and USMLE Step scores.
For the purposes of this report, success was definedas a match to
the specialty of the applicants first-ranked program because that
is assumed to be the specialty ofchoice. Lack of success includes
matching to another specialty as well as failure to match at all.
No distinction wasmade 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 osteopathicprograms. Because of
the small number of applicants, the report does not include
Canadian medical schoolgraduates and graduates of Fifth Pathway
programs. Osteopathic applicants were excluded from some charts due
tothe small number of observations.

2011 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.

Charting Outcomes in the Match, SMS, 2013
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.

Charting Outcomes in the Match, SMS, 2013
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.

Chart4
Median Number of Contiguous Ranks by Preferred Specialty,
Applicant Type, and Match Status
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.

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).

Mean Number of Research Experiences After Last Degreeby
Preferred Specialty, Applicant Type, and Match Status
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

Mean Number of Abstracts, Presentations, and Publications After
Last Degreeby Preferred Specialty, Applicant Type, and Match
Status
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.
