2016 Introduction
Background
The first edition of Charting Outcomes in the Match was published in August 2006 to document how applicant qualifications affect
success in the Main Residency Match. The report was published biennially between 2007 and 2011 and 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 AAMCs Electronic Residency Application Service (ERAS) and
United States Medical Licensing Examination (USMLE) scores from the AAMC data warehouse. In 2013, NRMP collaborated with the
Educational Commission for Foreign Medical Graduates (ECFMG) and produced the first edition of Charting Outcomes in the Match
for International Medical Graduates. This is the second NRMP report to examine the characteristics of U.S. citizen and non-U.S. citizen
students and graduates of international medical schools, but it is not a collaboration with ECFMG. USMLE and other applicant
characteristic data in this report were collected through the Professional Profile section NRMP added to its Match registration process
starting with the 2014 Main Residency Match.
With the exception of the 2013 report, prior versions of Charting Outcomes in the Match have examined the Match success of only two
applicant groups: senior students from U.S. allopathic medical schools and independent applicants. Independent applicants included all
applicant types other than U.S. seniors: previous graduates of U.S. allopathic medical schools, students/graduates of osteopathic 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 this year to report data separately for U.S. allopathic medical school seniors, students/graduates of osteopathic medical schools,
U.S. citizen students/graduates of international medical schools, and non-U.S. citizen students/graduates of international medical schools.
Definition of International Medical Graduate (IMG)

An international medical graduate (IMG) is a physician who received a basic medical degree or qualification from a medical school
located outside the United States and Canada. The location of the medical school, not the citizenship of the physician, determines whether
the graduate is an IMG. Thus, individuals who are U.S. citizens when they graduate from an international medical school are U.S. IMGs,
and individuals who are not U.S. citizens at the time of medical school graduation are non-U.S. IMGs even if they later become U.S.
citizens. Non-U.S. citizens who graduate from medical schools in the United States and Canada are not IMGs.
Data
Match success, specialty preference, and ranking information were collected through the Main Residency Match. Other applicant
characteristics, including USMLE Step 1 and Step 2 CK scores, academic degrees, publications, and research, work and volunteer
experiences, were self-reported through the Professional Profile section of the NRMPs 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 using the self-reported Professional Profile section was granted exemption by the American Institutes for Research (AIR)
Institutional Review Board (IRB).
A total of 12,783 IMG applicants (5,323 U.S. IMGs and 7,460 non-U.S. IMGs) submitted certified rank order lists in the 2016 Main
Residency Match. After excluding the 13.6 percent of U.S. IMGs and 11.7 non-U.S. IMGs who did not give consent to participate in
NRMP research, 11,045 IMG applicants (4,456 U.S. IMGs and 6,589 non-U.S. IMGs) were included in the final dataset. Missing data
were found in Step 1 scores (13.3% missing for U.S. IMGs and 8.5% missing for non-U.S. IMGs), Step 2 CK scores (15.0% and 9.0%),
number of research experiences (25.8% and 24.4%), number of abstracts, presentations, and publications (28.4% and 24.9%), number of
work experiences (23.0% and 16.2%), number of volunteer experiences (23.9% and 21.0%), Ph.D. degree (15.3% and 11.7%), and other
graduate degree (15.0% and 11.9%).
Methods
Over the years, new specialties have been added to Charting Outcomes, including Otolaryngology and Neurology in 2007, Neurological
Surgery in 2009, and Child Neurology and Vascular Surgery in 2014. Transitional Year programs were excluded beginning with the 2011
report because they are not viewed as a specialty choice. This report includes specialties that offered at least 50 positions in the 2016
Main Residency Match.

2016 Introduction (continued)
Ten measures are incorporated in this report: number of contiguous ranks in the preferred specialty, number of specialties ranked,
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. In addition, the probability of matching to a preferred specialty is calculated based on
USMLE Step 1 scores and contiguous ranks. Probability analyses were performed using a simple logistic regression model on IMGs who
participated in the Match in 2014, 2015, and 2016. The 2013 Charting Outcomes in the Match for International Medical Graduates
incorporated characteristics provided by ECFMG that are not included in this report: attempts at USMLE, number of months after
ECFMG certification, number of years since graduation, and English spoken as a native language.
It is important to note that for purposes of this report, Match success is defined as a match to the specialty of the applicants 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, or
last choice program.
Summary
Some general observations apply to all specialties in this report. IMGs who are successful in matching to their preferred specialty are
more likely to:
Rank more programs within their preferred specialty
Have higher USMLE Step 1 and Step 2 CK scores
Be U.S. citizens
Although other measures seem to be related to Match success for some specialties, the relationships are not consistent enough to draw
broad conclusions across specialties. In addition, the data sources used for this report do not include other 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 Match success, the distributions of scores show that program
directors consider other qualifications. A high score is not a guarantee of success, and a lower score is not a bar to success. Even in the
most competitive specialties a few individuals with higher scores are not successful. In the less competitive specialties, IMGs with scores
slightly above passing also were able to match to their preferred specialties.
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 USMLE 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.

Table 1 provides a summary of the numbers of applicants and positions for selected specialties. For example, a total of
1,771 applicants preferred Anesthesiology (or ranked an Anesthesiology position first), among whom 170 were U.S. IMGs
(122 matched and 48 not matched to Anesthesiology) and 169 non-U.S. IMGs (87 matched and 82 not matched to
Anesthesiology). For each of the 1,696 Anesthesiology positions there were 1.04 applicants who preferred the specialty.
Only those specialties that offered 50 or more positions are included in this table. For specialties offering both PGY-1 and
PGY-2 positions (including Physician (R) positions), all position types have been combined.

Chart 3 shows the percentages of U.S. IMGs and non-U.S. IMGs who matched to their preferred specialty. Overall, 48.4
percent of U.S. IMGs matched to their preferred specialty, ranging from a high of 71.8 percent in Anesthesiology to a low
of 22.2 percent in Orthopaedic Surgery. For non-U.S. IMGs, the overall match rate was 46.8 percent, ranging from a high of
57.1 percent in Diagnostic Radiology to a low of 16.7 percent in Neurological Surgery. Match rates were higher for U.S.
IMGs than non-U.S. IMGs for all specialties except Child Neurology, Dermatology, Internal Medicine, Neurology,
Orthopaedic Surgery, Pathology, Radiation Oncology, and Vascular Surgery. No U.S. IMG matched in Vascular Surgery.

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. IMGs and non-U.S. IMGs who
matched and did not match to their preferred specialty. Both applicant types show variation across specialties. For almost all
specialties, U.S. IMGs who matched to their preferred specialty had median contiguous rank lists that were longer than those
of U.S. IMGs who did not match. The same pattern can be found for non-U.S. IMGs, although the lists of matched non-U.S.
IMGs were in many cases shorter than those submitted by U.S. IMGs. Non-U.S. IMGs who matched also had longer
contiguous lists compared with non-U.S. IMGs who did not match to their preferred specialty.
The principal message of these graphs is that applicants with longer rank order lists are more successful than those with shorter
rank order lists. The NRMP has been recommending longer lists for many years, but some applicants apparently do not heed
the advice. Applicants who submit shorter rank order lists may do so because they find only a few programs willing to
entertain their applications or because they cannot afford a large number of interview trips.

USMLE Step 1 scores are a measure of an applicant'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 NRMPs ranking deadline. Overall, matched U.S. IMGs had
mean USMLE Step 1 scores of 224.5 (s.d. = 17.0) and matched non-U.S. IMGs had mean USMLE Step 1 scores of 233.8
(s.d. = 17.1), both well above the 2016 minimum passing score of 192. Step 1 scores were available for 87 percent of U.S.
IMGs and 92 percent of non-U.S. IMGs who gave consent to research.
Chart 6 displays the Step 1 scores by specialty for matched and unmatched U.S. IMGs (top panel) and non-U.S. IMGs
(bottom panel). The horizontal bars are the median values for successful applicants and the vertical lines show the
interquartile ranges (IQR, the range of scores for applicants excluding the top and bottom quarters of the distribution).
Specialties with too few data points lack the vertical bar. Across all specialties except Dermatology and Radiation Oncology,
the IQR of U.S. IMGs who matched to their preferred specialty was higher than the IQR of those who did not match. The
same trend was found among non-U.S. IMGs for all specialties except Neurological Surgery, PM&R, and Vascular Surgery.

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, matched U.S. IMGs had mean USMLE Step 2 CK scores of
232.6 (s.d. = 15.0) and matched non-U.S. IMGs had mean USMLE Step 2 CK scores of 238.8 (s.d. = 15.6), both well above
the 2016 minimum passing score of 209. Step 2 CK scores were available for 85 percent of U.S. IMGs and 91 percent of
non-U.S. IMGs who gave consent to research.
Chart 7 shows the Step 2 CK scores for U.S. IMGs (top panel) and non-U.S. IMGs (bottom panel) who did and did not
match to their preferred specialty. The horizontal bars are the median values for successful applicants and the vertical lines
show the interquartile ranges. Specialties with too few data points lack the vertical bar. As was the case for Step 1 scores, in
most specialties, U.S. IMGs who matched to their preferred specialties had higher scores than U.S. IMGs who did not match
to their preferred specialties. The same trend was seen among non-U.S. IMGs. The exceptions are Dermatology for U.S.
IMGs and Neurological Surgery, Otolaryngology, PM&R, and Plastic Surgery for non-U.S. IMGs.

Applicants were asked to report the number of research experiences they 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 IMG applicant type, preferred specialty, and Match outcome. U.S. IMGs
averaged 2.2 research experiences, with 57.7 percent reporting at least one research experience. Non-U.S. IMGs also
averaged 2.2 research experiences, with 65.0 percent reporting at least one research experience. Across all specialties, there
is no consistent pattern between matched and unmatched applicants in either IMG group based on the number of research
experiences.

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 IMG applicant type, preferred specialty, and Match outcome.
Less than half of U.S. IMGs (45.6%) reported at least one publication, with an average of 3.1 publications per applicant.
Non-U.S. IMGs reported an average of 6.3 publications with 60.2 percent reporting at least one publication. Large numbers
of publications can be found in Dermatology and certain surgical specialties such as Neurosurgery, Orthopaedic Surgery,
Otolaryngology, and Plastic Surgery. In those specialties, matched IMGs generally had more publications than IMGs who
did not match in their preferred specialty. In other specialties, however, there is no distinctive pattern among U.S. IMGs and
non-U.S. IMGs based on the number of abstracts, presentations, and publications. On average, non-U.S. IMGs reported more
publications than U.S. IMGs.

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 IMG applicant type, preferred specialty, and Match outcome. With a few
exceptions, such as Otolaryngology for U.S. IMGs and Anesthesiology, Internal Medicine/Pediatrics, Orthopaedic Surgery,
and Plastic Surgery for non-U.S. IMGs, matched IMGs had fewer or similar numbers of work experiences compared to
IMGs who did not match in their preferred specialty. Across all specialties, non-U.S. IMGs averaged slightly more work
experiences than U.S. IMGs (5.4 versus 4.4). A larger proportion of non-U.S. IMGs (81.9% versus 72.7%) reported at least
one work experience.

Applicants were asked to list the number of volunteer experiences they reported in their ERAS applications. Chart 11 provides
the average number of volunteer experiences by IMG applicant type, preferred specialty, and Match outcome. In most
specialties, matched IMGs in both groups had more volunteer experiences. Most noticeable are Dermatology, Plastic Surgery,
and Radiation Oncology for non-U.S. IMGs.
Overall, U.S. IMGs averaged 3.9 volunteer experiences and non-U.S. IMGs averaged 3.4 volunteer experiences. In addition,
72.5 percent and 73.7 percent of U.S. IMGs and non-U.S. IMGs reported at least one volunteer experience.

Chart 12 shows by preferred specialty, match status and IMG applicant type the percentage of IMGs who have a Ph.D.
degree. A larger proportion of non U.S. IMGs reported Ph.D. degrees compared to U.S. IMGs. Although the percentages of
Ph.D. degree holders are high in some surgical specialties, the numbers of IMGs preferring those specialties are too small to
draw meaningful conclusions.

Chart 13 shows by preferred specialty, match status and IMG applicant type the percentage of IMGs who have a graduate
degrees other than a Ph.D. For all specialties but Child Neurology, a larger proportion of U.S. IMGs who did not match to
their preferred specialty reported a graduate degree than did their matched counterparts. Among non-U.S. IMGs, there was
no discernable trend.
