MD Seniors, 2022
2022 Introduction
Background
The first edition of Charting Outcomes in the Match was published in August 2006 to document how applicant qualifications affect
outcomes in the Main Residency Match®. The report was published biennially between 2007 and 2011 and, initially, was a
collaboration of the National 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. Starting
with the 2014 Main Residency Match, the NRMP added an Academic Information section to its Match registration process to
collect the USMLE scores and other applicant characteristics, and those have been used to independently produce 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. MD medical schools
("U.S. seniors" or "U.S. MD seniors") and independent applicants. Independent applicants included all applicant types other than U.S.
seniors: graduates of U.S. MD medical schools, students/graduates of U.S. DO 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 (IMGs). Because independent applicants are a heterogeneous group, a decision was made in 2016 to report data
separately for U.S. MD medical school seniors, students/graduates of U.S. DO medical schools, and U.S. citizen/non-U.S.
citizen students/graduates of international medical schools. In 2018, upon requests from U.S. DO medical schools, the Charting
Outcomes in the Match report was redesigned to include only senior students of U.S. DO medical schools ("U.S. DO seniors"),
eliminating the reporting on U.S. DO graduates because their numbers are so small. The 2022 Charting Outcomes in the Match
reports marks the third iteration of publications for U.S. MD Seniors, U.S. DO seniors and U.S. citizen/non-U.S. citizen IMGs. This
report examines the characteristics of U.S. MD seniors.
Data
Match outcome, 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 Clinical Knowledge (CK) scores, academic degrees, publications, Alpha
Omega Alpha Honor Medical Society (AOA) membership, as well as research, work and volunteer experiences, were self-reported
through the Academic Information 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 Academic Information section was granted exemption by the Advarra Institutional Review Board (IRB).
A total of 19,902 U.S. MD seniors submitted certified rank order lists in the 2022 Main Residency Match. After excluding the 17 percent
of U.S. MD seniors who did not give consent to participate in NRMP research, 16,510 applicants were included in the final dataset.
Missing data were found in Step 1 scores (1% missing), Step 2 CK scores (2.4%), number of research experiences (10.8%), number of
abstracts, presentations, and publications (10.9%), number of work experiences (11.2%), number of volunteer experiences (11.2%),
Ph.D. degree (5.2%), other graduate degree (5.4%), and AOA membership (7.8%).
To ensure that USMLE Step scores were not misreported, the NRMP asked medical schools to verify the scores of their U.S. MD seniors.
In 2022, 90.2 percent of the Step 1 scores and 90.6 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 0.958 (99% CI [0.956, 0.959]) for Step 1 scores and 0.932 (99% CI [0.929,
0.935]) for Step 2 CK scores), both verified and unverified scores were used to prepare this report.
Methods
Specialties that offered 50 or more positions in the 2022 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 preferred specialty choice.

U.S. MD Seniors, 2022
2022 Introduction (continued)
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 outcome and contiguous ranks and USMLE Step 1 scores. Probability analyses in this report
used data on U.S. MD seniors who participated in the Match in 2020, 2021, and 2022.
This report examines whether a match was made to the specialty of the applicant’s first-ranked program, or "preferred specialty,"
because that is assumed to be the specialty of choice. U.S. MD Seniors who match to a specialty not ranked first on the rank order list
or who do not match are not included in analyses. No distinction was made based on whether applicants matched to the first, second,
third, or lower choice program.
Summary
Some general observations apply to all specialties in this report. U.S. MD seniors who match 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
It is important to note that other factors also likely contribute to matching to a preferred specialty. As examples, the data sources
used for Charting Outcomes in the Match do not include 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 matching to a preferred specialty, the distributions of scores
show that program directors consider other qualifications. A high score is not a guarantee of matching, and a low score is not a bar to
matching. In the more competitive specialties, U.S. MD seniors with high scores may not match to their preferred specialties. In less
competitive specialties, U.S. MD seniors with scores slightly above passing usually match to their preferred specialties. The data are
reassuring because they indicate that some programs do not employ an arbitrary cutoff or decline to consider applicants with less
competitive scores.
The data in this report support the following straightforward advice one should give to an applicant:
• Rank the programs with which you've interviewed in the order you most prefer them.
• Include a mix of both competitive and less competitive programs within your preferred specialty.
• Include all programs on your list where you would be willing to train if matched.
• 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 to your preferred specialty.
Program directors and applicants will find the tables and charts for the specialty of their particular interest later in this report.

Table 1 provides a summary of the numbers of positions for selected specialties and the numbers of all applicants and U.S.
MD seniors who preferred each specialty. For example, a total of 2,560 applicants preferred Anesthesiology (or ranked an
Anesthesiology program first), among whom 1,415 are U.S. MD seniors (1,267 matched and 148 not matched to
Anesthesiology). For each of the 1,969 Anesthesiology positions offered, there were 1.30 applicants who preferred the
specialty, including 0.72 U.S. MD seniors.
Only those specialties offering 50 or more positions are included. For those specialties offering both PGY-1 and PGY-2
positions (including Physician (R) positions), all position types have been combined.

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. MD seniors who matched and did not
match to their preferred specialty. The chart shows some variation across the specialties for U.S. MD seniors. Neurological
Surgery and Vascular Surgery both had the longest average contiguous rank list (20) for matched U.S. MD seniors and
Interventional Radiology had the shortest (4). For all specialties, U.S. MD seniors who matched to their preferred specialty
had median contiguous rank lists that were longer than those of U.S. MD seniors who did not match.
The principal message of these graphs is that applicants with longer rank order lists are more successful than those with shorter
ones.

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, a Step 1 score is the only qualification that is universally available for all
applicants during the interview season and prior to the NRMP’s ranking deadline. Overall, U.S. MD seniors who matched to
their preferred specialty have mean USMLE Step 1 scores of 231.3 (s.d. = 17.6), well above the 2022 minimum passing score
of 196. Step 1 scores were available for 99.1 percent of U.S. MD seniors who gave consent to research.
Chart 6 displays the Step 1 scores for U.S. MD seniors by specialty and match status. The horizontal bars are the median
values 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. MD seniors who matched to their preferred specialties was higher than those who did
not match.

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. MD seniors who matched to their
preferred specialty had mean USMLE Step 2 CK scores of 242.0 (s.d. = 14.9), well above the 2022 minimum
passing score of 209. Step 2 CK scores were available for 98.3 percent of U.S. MD seniors who gave consent to research.
Chart 7 shows the Step 2 CK scores for U.S. MD seniors by preferred specialty and match status. The horizontal bars are
the median values 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. MD seniors who matched to their preferred specialties was higher than those who
did not match.

Applicants were asked to report the number of research experiences entered in their Electronic Residency Application Service
(ERAS) applications. The experiences are not verified or evaluated and quality may vary greatly. Chart 8 shows the average
number of research experiences by preferred specialty and Match outcome. U.S. MD seniors averaged 4.0 research
experiences, with 74 percent reporting this information. For all specialties, matched U.S. MD seniors had a higher average
number of research experiences. Data were not reported for unmatched U.S. MD senior applicants preferring Radiation
Oncology.

Applicants were asked to list the number of abstracts, presentations, and publications they reported in their ERAS
applications. 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. 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 preferred specialty and Match outcome.
U.S. MD seniors averaged 8.1 publications, with 73.9 percent reporting this information. Matched U.S. MD seniors had a
higher mean number of abstracts, presentations, and publications in all specialties except Pediatrics. Data were not reported
for unmatched U.S. MD senior applicants preferring Radiation Oncology.

Applicants were asked to list the number of work experiences they reported in their ERAS application. Chart 10 shows the
average number of work experiences by preferred specialty and Match outcome. Although there is little variation across or
within specialties for U.S. MD seniors (matched or not matched), the patterns are less consistent; unmatched applicants
preferring Emergency Medicine and Neurology show more work experiences than their matched counterparts but fewer
among applicants that prefer Child Neurology, Family Medicine and Pathology. Nearly three-quarters (73.6%) of U.S. MD
seniors reported work experiences, with an average of 3.6 work experiences for all U.S. MD seniors. Differences in mean
number of work experiences are small in most specialties. Data were not reported for unmatched U.S. MD senior
applicants preferring Radiation Oncology.

Membership in Alpha Omega Alpha (AOA) Honor Medical 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,
M.D.-granting medical schools in the United States participate. 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.
Data on AOA membership are self-reported. Overall, 13.4 percent of U.S. MD seniors included in this report claimed AOA
membership. Among matched U.S. MD seniors, 18.2 percent reported AOA membership, compared to 10.0 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
four successful applicants.

*NIH funding information was obtained from NIH website: http://report.nih.gov/award/index.cfm.
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, 31.2 percent of matched and 22.6 percent of unmatched MD seniors were graduates of one of the 40
medical schools with the highest NIH funding.
Chart 13 shows the percentage of U.S. MD seniors who graduated from those schools by specialty and Match outcome. For
example, 32 percent of U.S. MD seniors who matched in Anesthesiology were graduates of one of the 40 medical schools
with the highest NIH funding, and 21 percent of U.S. MD seniors who did not match in Anesthesiology were graduates of
those schools.
Vascular Surgery had the highest percentage of matched U.S. MD seniors who were graduates of a medical school with the
highest NIH funding. Neurological Surgery, Dermatology, Otolaryngology, and Child Neurology also had higher
percentages of matched applicants from those schools compared to the other specialties. For all specialties except
Emergency Medicine, Neurology and Radiation Oncology, the percentages of MD seniors who did not match to their
preferred specialty were lower compared to MD seniors who matched, with the more notable differences in the latter two
specialties. Data were not reported for unmatched U.S. MD senior applicants preferring Child Neurology or Pathology.

Chart 14 shows by preferred specialty and match status the percentage of U.S. MD seniors who have a Ph.D. and/or other
graduate degrees. Pathology, Radiation Oncology, Child Neurology, Neurological Surgery, and Neurology had the highest
percentages of matched U.S. MD seniors with a Ph.D. degree. For most specialties, the percentage of unmatched U.S. MD
seniors who have other graduate degrees was higher than that of their matched counterparts. Data is unavailable for
unmatched U.S. MD senior applicants preferring Radiation Oncology due to a very low number of unmatched applicants.
