The 2015 Match has come and gone. A synopsis will come shortly, but below are the slides from the 2015 Match power point.
- Med-Peds residents comprise 1.9% of all residents in all specialties through the National Residency Matching Program (NRMP).
- Med-Peds has a strong fill rate thru the match (NRMP) each year and in 2015 there was a 99% fill rate through the NRMP with 1 open positions (379/380 positions filled).
- The Med-Peds overall fill rate is comparable to the other specialties.
- About 55% of our residents are women.
- 319/380 matched med-peds intern positions came from US graduates. A 84% US graduate fill rate is higher than comparable specialties. In general, an additional interns come from osteopathic schools. The NRMP does not include osteopathic graduates in the US seniors total.
- Out of the 380 intern positions offered, 319 were filled through the match by allopathic US graduates. The other 60 intern positions were filled by osteopathic and international medical graduates.
- The data for the number of osteopathic and international medical graduates that matched into med-peds separated out by the NRMP is not yet available for 2015.
- 375 allopathic students applied to at least 1 med-peds program. About 334 allopathic students ranked at least one med-peds program (which means that some students were not interested in med-peds or did not interview with med-peds programs). Out of the 334 that ranked med-peds program somewhere on their rank lists, 284 matched into a med-peds program. It is not unusual for there to be a drop off in numbers applying to any specialty.
- There were 439 applicants that applied through the Electronic Resident Application System (ERAS) to at least 1 med-peds program for the 2015 match. Here is the breakdown of applicants by region for the medical schools.
- Many applicants apply to more than 1 specialty in addition to med-peds. Most commonly people apply to family medicine, internal medicine and pediatrics in addition to med-peds.
- In addition, some students after applying to med-peds do not pursue it in the NRMP.
