“…In what follows, the initial algorithm will be called the "trial-run ' Under the procedure being discussed here, hospitals actually tanked students in groups, rather than in a strict rank order, although in the procedure discussed next, hospitals as well as students submitted strict rank orders. Surveys of medical students (see, e.g., Rutkow and Glasgow 1978) suggest that the most important factors determining student preferences over hospital programs have to do with their reputation as educational programs, less importance being assigned to factors such as on-call schedule, patient population, and salary.…”

The organization of the labor market for medical interns and residents underwent a number of changes before taking its present form in 1951. The record of these changes and the problems that prompted them provides an unusual opportunity to study the forces at work in markets of this kind. The present paper begins with a brief history and then presents a game-theoretic analysis to explain the orderly operation and longevity of the current market, in contrast to the turmoil that characterized various earlier short-lived attempts to organize the market. An analysis is also given of some contemporary problems facing the market. A subsidiary theme of the paper concerns the history of ideas: the problems encountered in the organization of this market, and some of the solutions arrived at, anticipated the discussion of such issues in the literature of economics and game theory.

“…In 1978, Rutkow and Glasgow (26) published an article entitled “How Medical Students View the Application and Interviewing Procedure For Surgical Residency.” He observed that 93% of 125 respondents wanted one-on-one interviews, and he also concluded that the majority of medical students applying to a university-based surgical program were not “completely satisfied with the present interviewing process” (p. 507).…”

To determine what factors influence medical students' perception of the application and selection procedures of psychiatric residency programs, the authors sent a questionnaire to 100 medical students interviewed for the residency program at a major psychiatric facility; 43 returned the forms. There was general concordance between the respondents' perception of the institution's selection criteria and their convictions regarding what those criteria ought to be, with the exception that applicants tended to downgrade the dean's letter. Factors important in the residents' evaluation were the warmth, enthusiasm, and interviewing skills of the faculty and residents. They did not object to psychologically probing interviews if the interviews were skillfully conducted. It was important to them that they met the chairman and program director, and if the applicant was a woman, she wanted to have at least one woman interviewer.
