Congratulations everyone who matched successfully . I am a hpsp recipient and will be applying for army anesthesiology . Any advice will be highly appreciated.

Hopkins!

Btw, did anybody receive any emails from your programs? I know at least I won't be going to Hopkins for another due to the prelim but just wondering..

Matched at VANDERBILT my #1!

I did receive a quick "hello" email from my program - but it is also categorical. They said welcome and watch out for all the paperwork emails.

 

[Lacheln]

Congrats to the new match posters!

Yes, I got a welcome email with match list etc.

Any reason so little fanfare with match results these days? I can remember past years the results with at least 100 replies. Now its just a smattering. I get excited to see people post where they are heading for residency. Whats the fear (if any)?

I think people have gotten (probably appropriately) more and more concerned with anonymity. I also think this forum is a pretty cold firehose in the face for newbies - more negative than a lot of the others, and maybe that keeps people away. It's not exactly a place that attracts the young and excited. Luckily I'm so old and jaded at this point that this forum can't make it much worse. Dunno if people are less happy with their matches this year as compared to prior.

 

[Arch Guillotti]

I will be attending my #1 pick, Emory - advanced in 2016!

 

[PonyUp]

I will be attending my #1 pick, Emory - advanced in 2016!

To whoever PM'd Arch - congrats! If you have any questions about the program PM me.

and as for the rest of you also matching your #1's, congrats!

Any idea if the unfilled programs that are listed on the NRMP website were unfilled before or after SOAP? I'm referring to the document titled "Match Outcome of All Programs By State" that's on the NRMP website.

 

[partydoc]

should be pre SOAP

 

[NoHumbug]

It is pre-SOAP. If you look-up the list of residents for a program that did not fill during a particular year you will see that the # of residents = # of spots in the match.

How are positions filled after soap? Does the PD continue to take applications after soap is done, etc

Programs are allowed to fill positions however they wish following the completion of SOAP. Note that while programs are not required to accept applicants through SOAP into their unfilled positions, those positions remain off-limits until the end of SOAP as part of the NRMP's "all-in policy."

 

[japhy]

congrats to everyone who matched this year. best of luck during the 12 months of waiting to do anesthesia!

awesome time of year...

 

[medstudent121]

Congrats to all the new anesthesiology residents! I wanted to ask the newly matched students if any of them matched with a step 1 of 218 or something close to it? I have been interested in doing anesthesiology since before med school and wanted to know if I still have a shot. Thank you!

Just Google 2014 charting outcome...i think you already know the answer to your question.

Thanks @aimedicine, I didn't know there was a 2014 version out. I was only looking at the 2011 version. That helps a lot. I would still love to hear from any one that recently matched though. A PM would be great too!

If a US Senior the odds of matching with a Step 1 of 218 are very good at around 96%. If you are an IMG then best of luck with your chances around 65%.

I would imagine the match results for 2015 would be very similar. I don't know how anyone can claim Anesthesiology is a "competitive match" when a US senior has a 96% chance of matching into the specialty with a 218 Step 1 score.

Matching into mostj specialty is relatively not that competitive, matching into a top notch program is what is competitive. For example the match rate for neurological surgery at step 1 between 210 and 220 is 60% and between 220 and 230 is over 80%. There is a lot of crappy anesthesia program out there...there are 130 total anesthesia program and if you ask me only about half of them are even worth training at. The top 50 anesthesia program are probably not accepting too many applicants with sub 220 step scores...all my classmates and myself who ended up in those programs have step 1 between 235 and 260.

What do you call a Med Student who finishes an Anesthesiology residency at a bottom 50 program and then passes his/her Boards?

half? come on dude, thats ridiculous. sure, there are certainly some programs that have a history of being crap, but that number is probably closer to 10-20.

What do you call a Med Student who finishes an Anesthesiology residency at a bottom 50 program and then passes his/her Boards?

what do you call a med student who finishes neurosurgery residency (with sub 220 board scores) at a bottom 50 program and then passes his/her boards?

you see the point i'm trying to make is that just because the match rate is 96% for anesthesia (at sub 220 board scores) does not mean the field is no longer competitive...THE TOP ANESTHESIA PROGRAM ARE STILL HARD TO GET INTO...in almost any specialty outside of derm/optho/ortho....its easy to match somewhere if you are a US senior.... it might not be a desirable location/a good program. that's all.

Put down the Crack pipe and look at the FACTS:

1. Only 25% of Med Students Matching into Anesthesiology scored 240 or better on Step 1 vs 57% of Med Students matching into Neurosurgery.
2. For Med Students seeking to match into Neurosurgery with a Step 1 of 218 he/she had a 60% chance of success (assuming lots of research experience and publications) vs a 96% chance of matching into Anesthesiology with the same 218 Step 1 score.

Neurosurgery is much more competitive than Anesthesiology and the stats prove it.

 

[BLADEMDA]

Orthopedics:

Only a handful of Med Students even tried to match Ortho with a Step 1 of 218. Of those that did the success rate was low at around 24% (14 students actually matched). The vast majority of those entering Ortho had a Step 1 score over 240 (68%).

So, the TOP anesthesia programs are hard to match into? What about the Top Neurosurgery and Ortho residencies? They would be even TOUGHER to match into with a Step 1 of 245. In fact, even landing a bottom 10 program in Neurosurgery or Ortho would likely require a Step score much higher than a 218.

Again, when you finish your Residency and/or Fellowship followed by the Board examinations what do you call a Med Student who finishes an Anesthesiology Program? What do you call that med student who finishes a bottom ten program in Neurosurgery?

It goes without saying that its tougher to match into neurosurg/ortho than it is to match into anesthesia...that wasn't my argument.

nvmind, you got this from doximity.

 

[Twiggidy]

I think it's worth noting that some programs purposely hold a spot open for transfers. (That's what i've heard to the grapevine at least). Congrats to everyone. Despite all the negativity on this forum, anesthesiology is still a "ROAD" specialty and besides maybe Derm (for the call schedule) I can't think of anything else I'd do.

It is getting more competitive and harder to match in any specialty.

Medicine is very likely the most secure job ever, especially in the economy following 2008. Law school admissions are on rapid decline and med school admission is only increasing. The rate limiting factor is money. It's very expensive to get an M.D. and it think it's definitely affecting specialty choice.
