“…The responses were separated between male and female students and compared based on relative frequencies to avoid this error. The limited time allowed for students to respond to the survey and the relatively low response rate of 13% were additional limitations; however, this respond period was similar to prior surveys of medical students (7,8), and a low response rate does not necessarily invalidate the data (15). Future research should assess the long-term efficacy of symposia such as MIRMSS and roundtable discussions, and whether IR symposium attendance, participating in an IR clerkship, or belonging to an IR interest group as a medical student is associated with a higher likelihood of pursuing IR as a career.…”

“…The authors performed a literature search to identify factors that may positively or negatively influence medical students' decision to pursue a career in IR. An anonymous 15-question survey was developed and consisted of multiple choice, 5-point Likerttype, and free-response questions in several categories (2,3,7,8). The survey was designed to assess demographics and factors that may influence a medical student's decision to choose a career in IR.…”

The authors conducted an anonymous survey to assess positive and negative factors that may affect medical students' decisions to pursue a career in interventional radiology (IR). The survey was sent to registrants for the Midwest IR Student Symposium in 2016 and/ or 2017, with a response rate of 13%; male and female responses were then compared. Female and male medical students shared similar rankings of factors affecting their decisions about choosing IR as a career, such as concern about lifestyle and excitement about therapeutic applications. Access to female IR mentors and diversification of the currently male-dominated workplace were important, gender-specific concerns.

“…16 Another survey of interventional radiology applicants determined that program websites were applicants' biggest source of program information, ahead of even physician mentors and residents. 17 Consequently, in a time when social distancing requirements and safety precautions have already drastically changed the path toward the coming residency match, improving website quality and content will be an increasingly essential recruitment, communication, and showcasing tool for residency programs.…”

“…Significant differences emerged between the groups, in which applicants rated USMLE Step 1 scores and geographic connection to the programme as more important for matching than programme directors had indicated. By contrast, programme directors rated grades, additional degrees and USMLE Step 2 clinical skills scores as more important than applicants had rated them 17 . Given these discrepancies, more objective data on the relationships among key factors influencing the residency match process are needed.…”

Objectives: Gaining medical residency interviews has become more competitive and costly for medical students. Although limited evidence from residency programme directors indicates predictors for successfully matching into a programme, past research has not sufficiently explored the application components necessary to receive an interview offer. The present study will identify which application components are most helpful in obtaining interview offers for different medical specialties. Methods: Data were sourced from the Texas Seeking Transparency in Application to Residency (STAR), a survey of recently matched fourth-year American medical students who self-reported information on their residency application components and interview offers. Multi-level logistic regression analyses were employed to predict the odds of interview offer according to applicants' academic, research and extracurricular characteristics. Sub-analyses were conducted for each medical specialty. Results: Nearly 10 000 students reported information on over 419 010 applications submitted, which resulted in 164 696 interview offers. Across the sample, applicants had greater odds of receiving an interview offer if they had a geographic connection to the programme (odds ratio [OR] = 4.10, 95% confidence interval [CI] 4.00-4.20), had completed an away rotation at the programme (OR = 16.00, 95% CI 14.92-17.15), were Alpha Omega Alpha Honor Medical Society members (OR = 1.49, 95% CI 1.36-1.64), or had been inducted into the Gold Humanism Honor Society (OR = 1.50, 95% CI 1.39-1.62). Applicants had reduced odds of getting an interview if they had been required to remediate a course in medical school (OR = 0.73, 95% CI 0.64-0.83) or had failed the US Medical Licensing Examination Step 1 or Step 2 examination on their first attempt (OR = 0.40, 95% CI 0.33-0.47). Predictors of obtaining an interview varied by specialty. Conclusions: The present findings can assist senior medical students as they prepare residency applications and identify programmes to which they will apply. Knowledge of the significant factors can help applicants more efficiently use resources to maximise their number of interview offers. Completing away rotations and selecting programmes with which applicants have geographic connections may increase their odds of receiving interview offers. | 199 KREMER Et al.
