I emailed a few AF specialty advisers about average STEP 1 scores, number of publications, etc of their matched residency applicants and got a surprising reply from the liaison for orthopedic surgery. I was told that the program director at SAMMC said their avg STEP 1 score was 235, and that most of them did not have publications. Charting outcomes shows an average of 245 for STEP 1 and average of 3 publications for civilians who matched into ortho. Is there something I am missing or is the military match really that different?
