Charting Outcomes in the Match for U.S. Osteopathic Medical Students and Graduates, 2016

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 AAMC’s Electronic Residency Application Service (ERAS®) and United States Medical Licensing Examination (USMLE®) scores from the AAMC data warehouse. However, starting with the 2014 Main Residency Match, the NRMP added a Professional Profile section to its Match registration process to collect the USMLE scores and other applicant characteristics. NRMP has used those data to independently produce this report since the 2014 version of Charting Outcomes in the Match. In prior years, this report 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 U.S. 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 U.S. osteopathic medical schools, U.S. citizen students/graduates of international medical schools, and non-U.S. citizen students/graduates of international medical schools. This report is the first Charting Outcomes in the Match that examines the characteristics of students/graduates of U.S. osteopathic medical schools. It is important to note that in addition to the Main Residency Match, students and graduates of osteopathic medical schools can participate in the Match sponsored by the American Osteopathic Association (AOA). Applicants who obtain positions in the AOA Match are automatically withdrawn from the NRMP so that they cannot match to concurrent year positions. Data Match success, specialty preference, and ranking information were collected through the Main Residency Match. Other applicant characteristics, including academic degrees, publications, and research, work and volunteer experiences, 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 reported 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 for the self-reported Professional Profile section was granted exemption by Chesapeake Institutional Review Board (IRB). Traditionally, Charting Outcomes in the Match reports on USMLE scores. Because the Comprehensive Osteopathic Medical Licensing Examinations (COMLEX-USA) is the licensing examination for osteopathic medical students/graduates, only a small number of osteopathic medical students/graduates also take the USMLE examination. Therefore, the COMLEX-USA Level 1 and Level 2-CE scores were used in this report instead of USMLE Step 1 and Step 2 CK scores. The National Board of Osteopathic Medical Examiners (NBOME) provided 2016 COMLEX-USA Level 1 and Level 2-CE scores for analyses in this report. This is the first time that NRMP has examined the link between COMLEX-USA scores and Match success. A total of 2,982 U.S. osteopathic students/graduates submitted certified rank order lists in the 2016 Main Residency Match. After excluding the 14.3 percent of osteopathic medical students/graduates who did not give consent to participate in NRMP research, 2,555 osteopathic applicants were included in the final dataset. Missing data were found in number of research experiences (26.3%), number of abstracts, presentations, and publications (28.2%), number of work experiences (27.2%), number of volunteer experiences (27.8%), Ph.D. degree (16.9%), and other graduate degree (16.6%). Identity matching of all applicants was not possible due to insufficient information; therefore, 2.9 percent of COMLEX-USA scores were missing. Methods Specialties that offered 50 or more positions and had at least 7 matched or unmatched applicants preferring the specialty in the 2016 Main Residency Match are included in this report. Transitional Year programs were excluded because they are not viewed as a specialty choice. Because the number of osteopathic medical students/graduates participating in the Match was relatively small, fewer specialties are included in this report than in other versions of Charting Outcomes in the Match. Ten measures are incorporated in this report: number of contiguous ranks in the preferred specialty, number of specialties ranked, COMLEX-USA Level 1 and Level 2-CE scores, numbers of research, work, and volunteer experiences, number of abstracts, presentations, and publications, and Ph.D. and other graduate degrees. the probability of matching to a preferred specialty is calculated based on COMLEX-USA Level 1 scores and contiguous ranks. In Charting Outcomes in the Match for U.S. allopathic medical school seniors and students/graduates of international medical schools, USMLE scores from applicants in the 2014, 2015, and 2016 Matches were analyzed. In this report, however, only 2016 COMLEX-USA scores were used. Copyright ©2016 NRMP. Reproduction prohibited without the written permission of the NRMP.

Introduction (continued)

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-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. Osteopathic medical students/graduates who are successful in matching to their preferred specialty are more likely to:  Rank more programs within their preferred specialty  Have higher COMLEX-USA Level 1 and Level 2-CE scores 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 Charting Outcomes in the Match 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 COMLEX-USA 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. Data in this report show that some individuals with low scores are able to match to their preferred specialty, but a few people with high scores are not successful. The data also are reassuring because they indicate that at least some programs do not employ an arbitrary cutoff or decline to consider applicants with less than excellent test performance. 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 COMLEX-USA 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.

* Preferred specialty is the specialty of the first-ranked program on an applicant's rank order list, excluding preliminary programs in specialties. Source: NRMP Data Warehouse.

Table 1 provides a summary of the numbers of applicants and positions for specialties that offered at least 50 positions in the Match and were preferred by at least 7 osteopathic medical students/graduates. For example, a total of 1,771 applicants preferred Anesthesiology (or ranked an Anesthesiology position first), among whom 233 were U.S. osteopathic medical school students/graduates (207 matched and 26 did not match to Anesthesiology). For each of the 1,696 Anesthesiology positions there were 1.0 applicants who preferred the specialty. For those specialties offering both PGY-1 and PGY-2 positions (including Physician (R) positions), all position types have been combined.

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. osteopathic medical students/graduates who did and did not match to their preferred specialty. Both groups show variation across specialties. For all specialties, osteopathic medical students/graduates who matched to their preferred specialty had median contiguous rank lists that were longer than those who did not match. 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.

The Comprehensive Osteopathic Medical Licensing Examinations (COMLEX-USA) are required for graduation from a U.S. osteopathic medical school. For that reason, this report examines the effect of COMLEX-USA scores rather than the United States Medical Licensing Examination (USMLE) scores. Because USMLE scores are not a requirement for osteopathic applicants to obtain a residency position, many osteopathic medical students/graduates choose not to take USMLE. Therefore, USMLE scores are available for a small number of osteopathic applicants in the NRMP Match. The COMLEX-USA examination series is designed to assess the osteopathic medical knowledge and clinical skills considered essential for osteopathic generalist physicians to practice osteopathic medicine. COMLEX-USA is constructed in the context of clinical problem-solving that involves "Patient Presentations" and "Physician Tasks." COMLEX-USA Level 1 integrates the foundational and basic biomedical sciences of anatomy, behavioral science, biochemistry, genetics, microbiology, immunology, osteopathic principles, pathology, pharmacology, physiology and other areas of medical knowledge as they are relevant to solving clinical problems and promoting and maintaining health in providing osteopathic medical care to patients. Passing COMLEX-USA Level 1 is required for graduation with the DO degree in the United States, and COMLEX-USA is used for licensure for DOs in all 50 states. Overall, U.S. osteopathic medical students/graduates who matched to their preferred specialty had mean COMLEX-USA Level 1 scores of 561.1 (s.d. = 77.7), well above the 2016 minimum passing score of 400. COMLEX-USA Level 1 scores were available for 99 percent of osteopathic medical students/graduates. Chart 6 displays the COMLEX-USA Level 1 scores for osteopathic medical students/graduates by specialty and Match status. 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). Although there is some overlap, across all specialties the IQRs of osteopathic medical students/graduates who matched to their preferred specialties are higher than those who did not match.

The COMLEX-USA Level 2-Cognitive Evaluation (CE) integrates the clinical disciplines of Emergency Medicine, Family Medicine, Internal Medicine, Obstetrics/Gynecology, Osteopathic Principles and Neuromusculoskeletal Medicine, Pediatrics, Psychiatry, Surgery, and other areas relevant to solving clinical problems and promoting and maintaining health in providing osteopathic medical care to patients. Passing COMLEX-USA is required for graduation with the DO degree in the United States, and COMLEX-USA is used for licensure for DOs in all 50 states. COMLEX-USA Level 2-CE scores are used in this report instead of USMLE Step 2 CK scores. Overall, osteopathic medical students/graduates who matched to their preferred specialty had mean COMLEX-USA Level 2-CE scores of 573.2 (s.d. = 90.2), well above the 2016 minimum passing score of 400. COMLEX-USA Level 2-CE scores were available for 98 percent of osteopathic medical students/graduates wo participated in the Main Residency Match. Chart 7 shows the COMLEX-USA Level 2-CE scores for osteopathic medical students/graduates by preferred specialty and Match status. The horizontal bars are the median values for successful applicants and the vertical lines show the interquartile ranges. As was the case for the Level 1 scores, across all specialties the IQRs of osteopathic medical students/graduates who matched to their preferred specialties are higher than those who did not match across all specialties.

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 preferred specialty and Match outcome. Osteopathic medical students/graduates averaged 1.8 research experiences, with 58.2 percent reporting at least one research experience. Across all specialties, there is no consistent pattern between matched and unmatched applicants based on the number of research experiences. In some specialties the mean number of research experiences was higher for matched applicants, and in other specialties the mean was higher for those who did not match. Although Neurology appears to be an outlier, only 15 applicants who preferred Neurology did not match to that specialty; thus, the mean is easily skewed by a small number of applicants.

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 mean number of publications by preferred specialty, and Match outcome. Less than half of osteopathic medical students/graduates (46.8%) reported at least one publication, with an average of 2.4 publications per applicant. Across specialties, the average numbers of publications per osteopathic applicant vary, and no clear pattern exists between the matched and unmatched groups. Although Neurology appears to be an outlier, only 15 applicants who preferred Neurology did not match to that specialty; thus, the mean is easily skewed by a small number of applicants.

Chart 12 shows by preferred specialty and Match status the percentage of osteopathic medical students/graduates who have a Ph.D. or other graduate degrees. Very few osteopathic medical students/graduates had a Ph.D. degree. With the exception of Anesthesiology, a smaller percentage of osteopathic medical students/graduates who matched to their preferred specialty had another graduate degree compared to their unmatched counterparts. No unmatched osteopathic applicants in Radiology and Pathology reported any data for analysis.
