BackgroundThe 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 theNational 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 AAMC’s 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 Matchfor International Medical Graduates. This is the second NRMP report to examine the characteristics of U.S. citizen and non-U.S. citizenstudents 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 processstarting 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 twoapplicant groups: senior students from U.S. allopathic medical schools and independent applicants. Independent applicants included allapplicant types other than U.S. seniors: previous graduates of U.S. allopathic medical schools, students/graduates of osteopathic medicalschools, 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 wasmade 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 schoollocated outside the United States and Canada. The location of the medical school, not the citizenship of the physician, determines whetherthe 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.

DataMatch success, specialty preference, and ranking information were collected through the Main Residency Match. Other applicantcharacteristics, including USMLE Step 1 and Step 2 CK scores, academic degrees, publications, and research, work and volunteerexperiences, 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 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 datawere 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 othergraduate degree (15.0% and 11.9%).

MethodsOver the years, new specialties have been added to Charting Outcomes, including Otolaryngology and Neurology in 2007, NeurologicalSurgery 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.

Charting Outcomes in the Match for IMGs, 2016

iiiCopyright ©2016 NRMP. Reproduction prohibited without the written permission of the NRMP.

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, andpublications, and Ph.D. and other graduate degrees. In addition, the probability of matching to a preferred specialty is calculated based onUSMLE Step 1 scores and contiguous ranks. Probability analyses were performed using a simple logistic regression model on IMGs whoparticipated in the Match in 2014, 2015, and 2016. The 2013 Charting Outcomes in the Match for International Medical Graduatesincorporated characteristics provided by ECFMG that are not included in this report: attempts at USMLE, number of months afterECFMG 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 applicant’s first-rankedprogram, 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, orlast choice program.

SummarySome general observations apply to all specialties in this report. IMGs who are successful in matching to their preferred specialty aremore 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 drawbroad conclusions across specialties. In addition, the data sources used for this report do not include other important applicant factorssuch 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 programdirectors consider other qualifications. A high score is not a guarantee of success, and a lower score is not a bar to success. Even in themost competitive specialties a few individuals with higher scores are not successful. In the less competitive specialties, IMGs with scoresslightly 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.

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.

Non-U.S. IMG

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. IMGs and non-U.S. IMGs whomatched and did not match to their preferred specialty. Both applicant types show variation across specialties. For almost allspecialties, U.S. IMGs who matched to their preferred specialty had median contiguous rank lists that were longer than thoseof 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 heedthe advice. Applicants who submit shorter rank order lists may do so because they find only a few programs willing toentertain their applications or because they cannot afford a large number of interview trips.

Some applicants are interested in a single specialty while others consider two or more. Chart 5 displays the average numberof different specialties ranked by IMG applicant type, preferred specialty, and Match outcome. The numbers of specialtiesranked by IMGs who matched or did not match to their preferred specialty were close with a few exceptions such asDermatology, Plastic Surgery, and Radiation Oncology for U.S. IMGs, and Radiation Oncology for non-U.S. IMGs.

USMLE Step 1 Scores of International Medical Graduatesby Preferred Specialty, Match Status, and IMG Applicant Type

USMLE Step 1 scores are a measure of an applicant's understanding of important basic science concepts and the ability toapply that knowledge to the practice of medicine. Although such knowledge is only one facet of applicant qualificationsconsidered by program directors in their selection process, a Step 1 score is the only qualification that is universally availablefor all applicants during the interview season and prior to the NRMP’s 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 theinterquartile 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 understandingof 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 ApplicationService (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 researchexperiences.

Mean Number of Abstracts, Presentations, and Publications of International Medical Graduatesby Preferred Specialty, Match Status, and IMG Applicant Type

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 9 showsthe 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 fewexceptions, 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 mostspecialties, 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 todraw meaningful conclusions.

Chart 13 shows by preferred specialty, match status and IMG applicant type the percentage of IMGs who have a graduatedegrees 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.
