Charting Outcomes in the Match: Senior Students of U.S. Osteopathic Medical Schools, 2018
2018 Introduction

BackgroundThe first edition of Charting Outcomes in the Match was published in August 2006 to document how applicant qualifications affect successin 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 theNRMP 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 2014, NRMP added a Professional Profilesection to its Match registration process to collect USMLE scores and other applicant characteristics and those have been used toindependently publish all subsequent Charting Outcomes in the Match reports.
Prior to 2016, the Charting Outcomes in the Match 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 in 2016 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.
In 2018, upon requests from osteopathic medical schools, the report on osteopathic medical students/graduates was redesigned to includeonly senior students of osteopathic medical schools (U.S. osteopathic seniors), and this is the first of those reports. A U.S. osteopathicsenior is a fourth-year medical student in a U.S. osteopathic school of medicine accredited by the Commission on Osteopathic CollegeAccreditation (COCA) with a graduation date after July 1 in the year before the Match. Self-reported graduation dates were used to separate senior students of osteopathic medical schools from graduates of osteopathic medical schools for the purposes of establishing thesample pool used in this report. Because the number of previous osteopathic medical school graduates is small, there is no separate report on that group.
Although the transition is underway for all graduate medical education programs to be accredited by the Accreditation Council forGraduate Medical Education (ACGME), U.S. osteopathic seniors can still participate in a Match sponsored by the American OsteopathicAssociation (AOA). Applicants who obtain positions in the AOA Match are automatically withdrawn from the NRMP so that they cannot match to concurrent year positions in the NRMP. The final AOA Match will culminate in March 2019.
DataMatch success, specialty preference, and ranking information were collected through the Main Residency Match. Other applicant characteristics, including Comprehensive Osteopathic Medical Licensing Examinations (COMLEX-USA) Level 1 and Level 2-Cognitive Evaluation (CE) scores, USMLE Step 1 and Step 2 Clinical Knowledge (CK) scores, academic degrees, publications, research, and 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 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 for the self-reported Professional Profile section was granted exemption by the Chesapeake (now Advarra) InstitutionalReview Board (IRB).
To ensure that COMLEX-USA and USMLE scores were not misreported, the NRMP asked medical schools to verify the scores of their senior students. In 2018, the vast majority of the COMLEX-USA Level 1 (98%) and Level 2-CE (98%) scores and USMLE Step 1 (92%)and Step 2 CK (91%) scores used in this report were verified, corrected, or supplied by U.S. osteopathic medical schools. Because the self-reported scores are highly accurate, both verified and unverified scores were used to prepare this report: The intracorrelation coefficient (ICC) between the self-reported scores and school-verified scores was 0.994 (99% CI [0.993, 0.994]) for COMLEX-USA Level 1 scores, 0.993 (99% CI [0.993, 0.994]) for Level 2-CE scores, 0.947 (99% CI [0.941, 0.952]) for USMLE Step 1 scores, and 0.841 (99% CI [0.820, 0.859]) for Step 2 CK scores. Probability analyses of U.S. osteopathic seniors matching to a preferred specialty are based on COMLEX-USA Level 1 scores of those who participated in the Match in 2016, 2017, and 2018. The 2016 COMLEX-USA scores were provided by the National Board of Osteopathic Medical Examiners (NBOME).
A total of 4,275 senior students of osteopathic schools submitted certified rank order lists in the 2018 Main Residency Match. After excluding the 9.8 percent who did not give consent to participate in NRMP research, 3,858 osteopathic applicants were included in the final dataset. Missing data were found in the number of COMLEX-USA Level 1 scores (0.5% missing), Level 2-CE scores (1.1%), USMLE Step 1 scores (39.3%), Step 2 CK scores (47.5%), research experiences (17.5%), number of abstracts, presentations, and

publications (18.6%), number of work experiences (17.1%), number of volunteer experiences (16.8%), Ph.D. degree (8.3%), and other graduate degree (7.8%).
MethodsSpecialties that offered 50 or more positions and had at least 7 matched or unmatched U.S. osteopathic seniors preferring the specialty in the 2018 Main Residency Match are included in this report. Although Otolaryngology, Plastic Surgery, Radiation Oncology, and VascularSurgery offered more than 50 positions, they are excluded from this report because the numbers of both matched and unmatched U.S. osteopathic seniors were smaller than 7. Transitional Year programs were excluded because they are not viewed as a specialty choice.
Twelve 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, USMLE Step 1 and Step 2 CK 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 apreferred specialty is calculated based on COMLEX-USA Level 1 scores and contiguous ranks.
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, orlower choice program.
SummarySome general observations apply to all specialties in this report. U.S. osteopathic seniors 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 Have higher USMLE Step 1 and Step 2 CK scores
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 Charting Outcomes in the Match do not include other importantapplicant 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 programdirectors consider other qualifications. A high score is not a guarantee of success, and a low 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 notsuccessful. 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.

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 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 seniors who did and did not match to their preferred specialty. Both groups show variation across specialties. For almost all specialties, U.S. osteopathic seniors who matched to their preferred specialty had median contiguous rank lists that were longer than those whodid not match.
The principal message of this chart is that applicants with longer rank order lists are more successful than those with shorterrank 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 preferred specialty and Match outcome. With the exception of Child Neurology and Diagnostic Radiology, U.S. osteopathic seniors who matched to their preferred specialty ranked fewer specialties than thosewho did not match.

COMLEX-USA Level 1 Scores of U.S. Osteopathic Seniorsby Preferred Specialty and Match Status
The Comprehensive Osteopathic Medical Licensing Examinations (COMLEX-USA) are required for graduation from a U.S. osteopathic medical school. The COMLEX-USA examination series is designed to assess the osteopathic medical knowledgeand 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 otherareas of medical knowledge as they are relevant to solving clinical problems and promoting and maintaining health inproviding osteopathic medical care to patients. Passing COMLEX-USA Level 1 is required for graduation with the Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine (DO) degree in the United States, and COMLEX-USA is used for licensure for DOs in all 50 states. Overall, U.S. osteopathic seniors who matched to their preferred specialty had mean COMLEX-USA Level 1 scores of 547.1 (s.d. = 77.1) well above the 2018 minimum passing score of 400. COMLEX-USA Level 1 scores were available for 99percent of U.S. osteopathic seniors.
Chart 6 displays the COMLEX-USA Level 1 scores for U.S. osteopathic seniors 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). Unusually wide and unusually narrow IQRs often indicate small sample sizes.
For most specialties the IQRs of U.S. osteopathic seniors who matched to their preferred specialties are higher than those whodid not match. The IQRs of unmatched osteopathic seniors overlapped or surpassed that of the matched osteopathic seniorsfor Dermatology, Interventional Radiology, and Neurological Surgery, but the sample sizes for those specialties are small.

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 healthin providing osteopathic medical care to patients. Passing COMLEX-USA Level 2-CE 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 seniors who matched to their preferred specialty had mean COMLEX-USA Level 2-CE scores of 583.6 (s.d. = 95.0) well above the 2018 minimum passing score of 400. COMLEX-USA Level 2-CE scores were available for 98 percent of U.S. osteopathic seniors who participated in the Main Residency Match.
Chart 7 shows the COMLEX-USA Level 2-CE scores for U.S. osteopathic seniors by preferred specialty and match status. The horizontal bars are the median values for successful applicants and the vertical lines show the interquartile ranges (IQRs). Unusually wide and unusually narrow IQRs often indicate small sample sizes.
As with the Level 1 scores, for most specialties the IQRs of U.S. osteopathic seniors who matched to their preferred specialties are higher than those who did not match. Unmatched U.S. osteopathic seniors had higher median scores than their matched counterparts in Interventional Radiology and Neurological Surgery, but both sample sizes are small.

USMLE Step 1 Scores of U.S. Osteopathic Seniorsby Preferred Specialty and Match Status
USMLE Step 1 scores are a measure of a student’s understanding of important basic science concepts and the ability to apply that knowledge to the practice of medicine. Although such knowledge is only one facet of applicant qualifications considered by program directors in their selection process, a Step 1 score is the only qualification that is universally available for all applicant types during the interview season and prior to the NRMP’s ranking deadline.
It is important to note that not all U.S. osteopathic seniors took the USMLE or reported the scores to the NRMP. Step 1 scores were available for only 60.7 percent of U.S. osteopathic seniors who gave consent to research. Overall, U.S. osteopathic seniors who matched to their preferred specialty had mean USMLE Step 1 scores of 226.6 (s.d. = 15.4) well above the 2018 minimum passing score of 194.
Chart 8 displays the Step 1 scores for U.S. osteopathic seniors by specialty and match status. The horizontal bars are the median values for successful applicants and the vertical lines show the interquartile ranges (IQRs). Unusually wide and unusually narrow IQRs often indicate small sample sizes. For almost specialties, the IQR of U.S. osteopathic seniors who matched to their preferred specialties was higher than those who did not match. Exceptions, such as Dermatology and Interventional Radiology, are specialties with a small number U.S. osteopathic seniors who preferred the specialty.

USMLE Step 2 CK Scores of U.S. Osteopathic Seniorsby Preferred Specialty and Match Status
USMLE Step 2 Clinical Knowledge (CK) scores are a measure of an applicant's ability to apply the medical knowledge, skills, and understanding of clinical science essential for providing patient care. Step 2 CK scores were available for only 52.5 percent of U.S. osteopathic seniors who gave consent to research. Overall, U.S. osteopathic seniors who matched to their preferred specialty had mean USMLE Step 2 CK scores of 240.0 (s.d. = 14.2) well above the 2018 minimum passing score of 209.
Chart 9 shows the Step 2 CK scores for U.S. osteopathic seniors by preferred specialty and match status. The horizontal bars are the median values for successful applicants and the vertical lines show the interquartile ranges (IQRs). Unusually wide and unusually narrow IQRs often indicate small sample sizes. As with the Step 1 scores, the more competitive specialties have higher average Step 2 CK scores, but the overall variation is smaller. For all specialties but Interventional Radiology, the IQR of U.S. osteopathic seniors who matched to their preferred specialties was higher than those who did not match.

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 10 shows the average number of research experiences by preferred specialty and Match outcome. U.S. osteopathic seniors averaged1.7 research experiences, with 63.8 percent reporting at least one research experience. Across all specialties, there is noconsistent 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 meanwas higher for those who did not match. Although Neurological Surgery appears to be an outlier, only 10 U.S. osteopathic seniors preferred the specialty; thus, the mean is easily skewed by a small number of applicants.

Mean Number of Abstracts, Presentations, and Publications of U.S. Osteopathic Seniorsby Preferred Specialty and Match Status
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 11shows the mean number of publications by preferred specialty, and Match outcome.
Slightly more than half of U.S. osteopathic seniors (52.3%) reported at least one publication, with an average of 2.3 publications per applicant. Matched U.S. osteopathic seniors reported more publications in most specialties, with the exceptions of Child Neurology, Internal Medicine, Internal Medicine/Pediatrics, and Neurology. There are large gaps between the reported numbers of publications by matched and unmatched U.S. osteopathic seniors for Interventional Radiology and Neurological Surgery, but the numbers of U.S. osteopathic seniors who preferred those specialties are small and the means are easily skewed.

Chart 14 shows by preferred specialty and match status the percentage of U.S. osteopathic seniors who have a Ph.D. or other graduate degrees. Very few U.S. osteopathic seniors had a Ph.D. degree. With the exception of Family Medicine, Interventional Radiology, and Neurological Surgery, a smaller percentage of U.S. osteopathic seniors who matched to their preferred specialty had another graduate degree compared to their unmatched counterparts. No matched U.S. osteopathic seniors in Dermatology and Orthopaedic Surgery and unmatched U.S. osteopathic seniors in Child Neurology and InternalMedicine/Pediatrics reported any data for analysis.
