2020 Introduction

BackgroundThe first edition of Charting Outcomes in the Match was published in August 2006 to document how applicant qualifications affect successin the Main Residency Match®. The report was published biennially between 2007 and 2011 and was a collaboration of the NationalResident Matching Program® (NRMP®) and the Association of American Medical Colleges® (AAMC®). Match outcome data from theNRMP 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 Profilesection to its Match registration process to collect USMLE scores and other applicant characteristics, and those have been used toindependently produce all subsequent Charting Outcomes in the Match reports.

Prior to 2016, the Charting Outcomes in the Match report examined the Match success of only two applicant groups: senior students from U.S. MD medical schools and independent applicants. Independent applicants included all applicant types other than U.S. MD 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. 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, U.S. citizen students/graduates of international medical schools, andnon-U.S. citizen students/graduates of international medical schools. In 2018, upon requests from U.S. DO medical schools, the report on U.S. DO medical seniors/graduates was redesigned to include onlysenior students of DO medical schools (U.S. DO seniors). A U.S. DO senior is a fourth-year medical student in a U.S. osteopathic school of medicine accredited by the Commission on Osteopathic College Accreditation (COCA) with a graduation date after July 1 in the yearbefore the Match. Because DO seniors and graduates were grouped in one category, self-reported graduation dates were used to separatesenior students of DO medical schools from graduates of DO medical schools for the purposes of establishing the sample pool used in thereport. The 2020 Main Residency Match marked the completion of the transition to a single accreditation system, and DO seniors andgraduates were separated in the NRMP system into different applicant categories. This report is the second edition of the Charting Outcomes in the Match for U.S. DO Seniors. Because the number of U.S. DO medical school graduates is small, there is no separate reporton that group.

DataMatch success, specialty preference, and ranking information were collected through the Main Residency Match. Other applicant characteristics, including Comprehensive Osteopathic Medical Licensing Examinations (COMLEX-USA) Level 1 and Level 2-Cognitive Evaluation (CE) scores, USMLE Step 1 and Step 2 Clinical Knowledge (CK) scores, academic degrees, publications, 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) InstitutionalReview Board (IRB).

To ensure that COMLEX-USA and USMLE scores were not misreported, the NRMP asked DO medical schools to verify the scores oftheir senior students. In 2020, the vast majority of the COMLEX-USA Level 1 (91%) and Level 2-CE (91%) scores and USMLE Step 1 (89%) and Step 2 CK (89%) scores used in this report were verified, corrected, or supplied by U.S. DO medical schools. Because the self-reported scores are highly accurate, both verified and unverified scores were used to prepare this report: The intracorrelation coefficient (ICC) between the self-reported scores and school-verified scores was 0.996 (99% CI [0.996, 0.996]) for COMLEX-USA Level 1 scores, 0.993 (99% CI [0.992, 0.993]) for Level 2-CE scores, 0.993 (99% CI [0.992, 0.993]) for USMLE Step 1 scores, and 0.881 (99% CI [0.870, 0.892]) for Step 2 CK scores.

A total of 6,581 senior students of U.S. DO medical schools submitted certified rank order lists in the 2020 Main Residency Match. After excluding the 8.0 percent who did not give consent to participate in NRMP research, 6,055 U.S. DO senior applicants were included in thefinal dataset. Missing data were found in the number of COMLEX-USA Level 1 scores (1.0% missing), Level 2-CE scores (1.3%), USMLE Step 1 scores (39.3%), Step 2 CK scores (46.7%), research experiences (14.6%), number of abstracts, presentations, and publications (15.2%), number of work experiences (14.5%), number of volunteer experiences (14.4%), Ph.D. degree (8.6%), and other graduate degree (7.4%).

MethodsSpecialties that offered 50 or more positions and had at least 7 matched or unmatched U.S. DO seniors preferring the specialty in the 2020 Main Residency Match are included in this report. Although Radiation Oncology offered more than 50 positions, it is excluded from this report because the numbers of both matched and unmatched U.S. DO seniors were fewer than 7. Transitional Year programs were excludedbecause they are not viewed as a preferred specialty choice.

Twelve measures are incorporated in this report: number of contiguous ranks in the preferred specialty, number of specialties ranked,COMLEX-USA Level 1 and Level 2 CE scores, USMLE Step 1 and Step 2 CK scores, numbers of research, work, and volunteer experiences, number of abstracts, presentations, and publications, and Ph.D. and other graduate degrees. The probability of matching to apreferred specialty is calculated based on COMLEX-USA Level 1 scores and contiguous ranks. Probability analyses of U.S. DO seniors matching to a preferred specialty are based on COMLEX-USA Level 1 scores of those who participated in the Match in 2018, 2019, and 2020.

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, orlower choice program.

SummarySome general observations apply to all specialties in this report. U.S. DO seniors who are successful in matching to their preferred specialty are more likely to: Rank more programs within their preferred specialty Have higher COMLEX-USA Level 1 and Level 2-CE scores Have higher USMLE Step 1 and Step 2 CK scores

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

Despite the fairly strong relationship between COMLEX-USA scores and Match success, the distributions of scores show that programdirectors consider other qualifications. A high score is not a guarantee of success, and a low score is not a bar to success. Data in this report show that some individuals with low scores are able to match to their preferred specialty, but a few people with high scores are notsuccessful. 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 have the highest COMLEX-USA 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 thisaspect of applicant behavior, we tallied the number of programs ranked in the first-choice specialty before a program inanother 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. DO seniors who did and did not matchto their preferred specialty. Both groups show variation across specialties. For all specialties except Neurological Surgery,U.S. DO seniors who matched to their preferred specialty had median contiguous rank lists that were longer than those whodid not match. No U.S. DO seniors who preferred Plastic Surgery matched in the specialty.

The principal message of this chart is that applicants with longer rank order lists are more successful than those with shorterrank order lists. Some applicants submit shorter rank order lists because they find only a few programs willing to entertaintheir applications or because they cannot afford a large number of interview trips.

COMLEX-USA Level 1 Scores of U.S. DO Seniorsby Preferred Specialty and Match Status

The Comprehensive Osteopathic Medical Licensing Examinations (COMLEX-USA) are required for graduation from a U.S. DO medical school. The COMLEX-USA examination series is designed to assess the osteopathic medical knowledge andclinical skills considered essential for osteopathic generalist physicians to practice osteopathic medicine. COMLEX-USA isconstructed in the context of clinical problem-solving that involves "Patient Presentations" and "Physician Tasks." COMLEX-USA Level 1 integrates the foundational and basic biomedical sciences of anatomy, behavioral science,biochemistry, genetics, microbiology, immunology, osteopathic principles, pathology, pharmacology, physiology and otherareas of medical knowledge as they are relevant to solving clinical problems and promoting and maintaining health inproviding osteopathic medical care to patients. Passing COMLEX-USA Level 1 is required for graduation with the Doctor ofOsteopathic Medicine (DO) degree in the United States, and COMLEX-USA is used for licensure for DOs in all 50 states. Overall, U.S. DO seniors who matched to their preferred specialty had mean COMLEX-USA Level 1 scores of 542.0 (s.d. = 80.9), well above the 2020 minimum passing score of 400. COMLEX-USA Level 1 scores were available for 99 percent ofU.S. DO seniors.

Chart 6 displays the COMLEX-USA Level 1 scores for U.S. DO 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 excludingthe top and bottom quarters of the distribution). Unusually wide and unusually narrow IQRs often indicate small sample sizes.

For most specialties the IQRs of U.S. DO seniors who matched to their preferred specialties were higher than those who didnot match. The IQRs of unmatched U.S DO seniors overlapped or surpassed that of the matched U.S. DO seniors for Neurological Surgery, but the sample sizes for that specialty is small (3 matched and 12 not matched). No U.S. DO seniors who preferred Plastic Surgery matched in the specialty.

COMLEX-USA Level 2-CE Scores of U.S. DO Seniorsby Preferred Specialty and Match Status

The COMLEX-USA Level 2-Cognitive Evaluation (CE) integrates the clinical disciplines of Emergency Medicine, Family Medicine, Internal Medicine, Obstetrics/Gynecology, Osteopathic Principles and Neuromusculoskeletal Medicine, Pediatrics, Psychiatry, Surgery, and other areas relevant to solving clinical problems and promoting and maintaining healthin providing osteopathic medical care to patients. Passing COMLEX-USA Level 2-CE is required for graduation with the DO degree in the United States, and COMLEX-USA is used for licensure for DOs in all 50 states. Overall, U.S. DO seniors who matched to their preferred specialty had mean COMLEX-USA Level 2-CE scores of 574.6 (s.d. = 88.2), well above the 2020 minimum passing score of 400. COMLEX-USA Level 2-CE scores were available for 98 percent of U.S. DO seniors who participated in the Main Residency Match.

Chart 7 shows the COMLEX-USA Level 2-CE scores for U.S. DO seniors by preferred specialty and match status. The horizontal bars are the median values and the vertical lines show the interquartile ranges (IQRs). Unusually wide and unusually narrow IQRs often indicate small sample sizes.

As with the Level 1 scores, for most specialties the IQRs of U.S. DO seniors who matched to their preferred specialties werehigher than those who did not match. Unmatched U.S. DO seniors had higher median scores than their matched counterparts in Neurological Surgery, but both sample sizes are small. No U.S. DO seniors who preferred Plastic Surgery matched in the specialty.

USMLE Step 1 Scores of U.S. DO Seniorsby Preferred Specialty and Match Status

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 universallyavailable for all applicant types during the interview season and prior to the NRMP’s ranking deadline.

It is important to note that not all U.S. DO seniors took the USMLE or reported the scores to the NRMP. Step 1 scores were available for only 60.7 percent of U.S. DO seniors who gave consent to research. Overall, U.S. DO seniors who matched totheir preferred specialty had mean USMLE Step 1 scores of 227.7 (s.d. = 15.4) well above the 2020 minimum passing score of 194.

Chart 8 displays the Step 1 scores for U.S. DO seniors by specialty and match status. The horizontal bars are the median values for successful applicants and the vertical lines show the interquartile ranges (IQRs). Unusually wide and unusually narrow IQRs often indicate small sample sizes. Examples can be found in Child Neurology, Neurological Surgery, PlasticSurgery, and Vascular Surgery. For almost all specialties but Otolaryngology and Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation, theIQR of U.S. DO seniors who matched to their preferred specialties was higher than those who did not match.

USMLE Step 2 CK Scores of U.S. DO Seniorsby Preferred Specialty and Match Status

USMLE Step 2 Clinical Knowledge (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. Step 2 CK scores were available for only53.3 percent of U.S. DO seniors who gave consent to research. Overall, U.S. DO seniors who matched to their preferred specialty had mean USMLE Step 2 CK scores of 240.5 (s.d. = 13.4) well above the 2020 minimum passing score of 209.

Chart 9 shows the Step 2 CK scores for U.S. DO 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 (IQRs). Unusually wide and unusually narrow IQRs often indicate small sample sizes. Examples can be found in specialties such as Child Neurology,Pathology, Plastic Surgery, and Vascular Surgery. As with the Step 1 scores, the more competitive specialties have higheraverage Step 2 CK scores, but the overall variation is smaller. For most specialties, the IQR of U.S. DO 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 they entered in their Electronic Residency ApplicationService (ERAS) applications. The experiences are not verified or evaluated and quality may vary greatly. Chart 10 shows the average number of research experiences by preferred specialty and Match outcome. U.S. DO seniors averaged 1.9 research experiences, with 69.4 percent reporting at least one research experience. The average numbers of researchexperiences were higher for matched U.S. DO seniors among competitive specialties such as Dermatology, OrthopaedicSurgery, Otolaryngology, and General Surgery. However, except for Orthopaedic Surgery, the other three specialties hadsmall sample sizes.

Mean Number of Abstracts, Presentations, and Publications of U.S. DO 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 11shows the mean number of publications by preferred specialty and Match outcome.

More than half of U.S. DO seniors (59.1%) reported at least one publication, with an average of 2.9 publications per applicant. Matched U.S. DO seniors reported more publications in most specialties, with the exceptions of Child Neurology, Diagnostic Radiology, General Surgery, and Internal Medicine/Pediatrics. There are large gaps between the reportednumbers of publications by matched and unmatched U.S. DO seniors for Neurological Surgery, Otolaryngology, and Vascular Surgery, but the numbers of U.S. DO seniors who preferred those specialties are small and the means are easily skewed.
