Introduction
1 NRMP Program Director Survey Results, 2014
In March 2014, the National Resident Matching Program
(NRMP) conducted its biennial survey of the directors of all
programs participating in the Main Residency Match. The
primary purpose of the survey was to shed light on the factors
that program directors use to (1) select applicants to interview
and (2) rank applicants for the Match.
The survey was fielded during the 18 days between the rank
order list deadline and Match Week so that program match
outcomes would not influence respondents' answers.
The survey solicited information on:
the number of applications received, screened, and
reviewed, as well as the number of applicants interviewed
and ranked
whether the program typically interviews and ranks specific
applicant groups
use of test scores in considering which applicants to
interview, and
the factors used for both interview selection and for ranking
applicants.
The overall response rate for all specialties in this report was
52.7 percent. Transitional Year and 22 specialties with 10 or
more responses are included in this report. Their response rates
are listed in the table below. Response rates for those
specialties ranged from a high of 65.4 percent for Emergency
Medicine and Pediatrics to a low of 42.6 for Radiology.
Several changes were made to the 2014 questionnaire. In the
past, program directors were asked to indicate factors they
used in selecting applicants to interview and to rate the
importance of each factor in ranking. In this survey, program
directors were asked to indicate factors they used in selecting
applicants to interview and rank respectively. They were
asked to rate the importance on a scale of 1 to 5 only for the
factors they used in their selection process. In addition, this
survey asked program directors how they handled unfilled
positions after the 2013 Match and SOAP. Because the
number of responses for that question was small, the results
are only reported in the "All Specialties" section.
Numbers of responses are presented in most of the graphs.
Some graphs use data from multiple survey questions. In
those cases, different N's are listed. Numbers of applicants
ranked and positions in the Match are extracted from the
NRMP database. Graphs are suppressed for questions with
fewer than five responses.
This report presents results by specialty on selected items
from the survey. The NRMP hopes that program directors,
medical school officials, and applicants find these data
useful as they prepare for and participate in the Main
Residency Match.
