Introduction

1NRMP Program Director Survey Results, 2016

In March 2016, 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 39.9 percent. Transitional Year programs and programs in 22 specialties with 10 or more responses are included in this report. Response rates are listed in the table below.

Additional questions were added to the 2016 questionnaire. In

this survey, program directors were asked to indicate the percentage of interview invitations sent and interviews conducted in certain time periods. They also were asked how often they interviewed and ranked candidates from each applicant group. In addition, program directors rated factors used in assessing residents' success. In surveys conducted prior to 2014, program directors were asked to indicate factors they used in selecting applicants to interview and to rate the importance of each factor in ranking. Beginning with the 2014 survey, program directors have been asked to indicate factors they used in selecting applicants to interview and rank and rate their importance on a scale of 1 to 5.

Numbers of responses are presented in most of the graphs, and 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._______________The NRMP's data reporting and research activities are guided by its Data Release and Research Committee. NRMP data and reports can be found at: www.nrmp.org/match-data/.
