Introduction

1NRMP 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 rankingapplicants.

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 t

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, progr

directors were asked to indicate factors they used in select

applicants to interview and rank respectively. They were

asked to rate the importance on a scale of 1 to 5 onlyfor th

factors they used in their selection process. In addition, th

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 resul

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 applicant

ranked and positions in the Match are extracted from the

NRMP database. Graphs are suppressed for questions wit

fewer than five responses.

This report presents results byspecialty on selected itemsfrom 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._______________

The NRMP's data reporting and research activities are guided b

its Data Release and Research Committee. NRMP data and

reports can be found at: www.nrmp.org/match-data/.
