Abstract

Purpose

The National Resident Matching Program (NRMP) is used by an increasing number of diagnostic radiology (DR) residents applying to subspecialty fellowships. Data characterizing match outcomes on the basis of program characteristics are limited. The aim of this study was to determine if fellowship or residency size, location, or perceived reputation was related with a program filling its quota.

Methods

Using public NRMP data from 2004 to 2022, DR residency, breast imaging (BI), musculoskeletal imaging (MSK), interventional radiology (IR), and neuroradiology (NR) fellowship programs were characterized by geography, DR and fellowship quota, applicants per position (A/P), and reputation as determined by being an Aunt Minnie best DR program semifinalist, Doximity 2021-2022 top 25 program, or U.S. News & World Report top 20 hospital. The DR program’s reputation was substituted for fellowships at the same institution. A program was considered filled if it met its quota.

Results

The 2022 A/P ratios were 1.02 for IR, 0.83 for BI, 0.75 for MSK, and 0.88 for NR. IR was excluded from additional analysis because its A/P was >1. The combined BI, MSK, and NR fellowships filled 78% of positions (529 of 679) and 56% of programs (132 of 234). Factors associated with higher program filling included Doximity top 25 program, Aunt Minnie semifinalist, and U.S. News & World Report top 20 hospital affiliation (P < .001 for all); DR residency quota greater than 9, and fellowship quota of three or more (P < .01). The Ohio Valley (Ohio, western Pennsylvania, West Virginia, and Kentucky) filled the lowest, at 39% of programs (P = .06).

Conclusions

Larger fellowship programs with higher perceived reputations and larger underlying DR residency programs were significantly more likely to fill their NRMP quota.

全国放射学研究员驻地配对计划分析--影响计划填补率的因素。
目的:越来越多的放射诊断学(DR)住院医师在申请亚专科研究金时使用了国家住院医师匹配计划(NRMP)。根据项目特征描述匹配结果的数据非常有限。我们试图确定研究员或住院医师的规模、地点或声誉是否与项目是否完成配额有关:我们利用 2004-2022 年的 NRMP 公开数据,按照地理位置、DR 和研究金配额、每个职位的申请人数(A/P)以及声誉(由 "米妮阿姨最佳 DR 项目半决赛"、"Doximity 2021-2022 年 25 强 "或 "美国世界新闻与报道(USWNR)顶级医院 "决定)对 DR 住院医师、乳腺成像(BI)、肌肉骨骼(MSK)、介入(IR)和神经放射(NR)研究金项目进行了分析。DR 项目的声誉以同一机构的研究金为替代。如果一个项目达到了配额,则认为该项目已满:2022年的A/P比率分别为1.02(IR)、0.83(BI)、0.75(MSK)和0.88(NR)。BI、MSK和NR奖学金合计填补了78%(529/679)的职位和56%(132/234)的项目。与较高职位填补率相关的因素包括Doximity前25名、Minnie姑妈半决赛选手、USWNR前20名(P均为9)以及研究金配额大于3(P=结论:规模较大、声誉较高的研究金项目和规模较大的基础 DR 住院医师项目更有可能完成其 NRMP 配额。
