Anybody have them or know when they come out?
I'm assuming the OP wants the stats for the class of 2011's match for this year. If that's the case, then the attached file doesn't include this information. I didn't see the new stats on MODS when I checked today
Oops. That explains the lack of 2010 board scores. I assumed they meant the match from Dec '10. I reckon when the new data is posted they will probably update that ppt.
If you log into MODS and click GME slide show under General Information it has a slide with a list of applicants per approved positions from 2006-2010.
I have attached a screen shot in case you don't have access to MODS.
General Surgery is the most highly competitive specialty within the army? I was under the impression that they weren't even filling all of their slots?
Where are you going to get this info?
The MODS website for HPSP students.
Any chance one of you could post this data, in its entirety, for the those who are considering the HPSP scholarship?
Heres the Slideshow on the Mods Website. Pages 14 and 15 show the information being looked for in this thread but plenty of other useful information is in the slideshow. I saved it as PDF to make it easier to view.
the slideshow states there are 290 army grads but only 260 residency spots.... does that mean the other 30 end up as GMOs???

. Students not matching in their specialty choice will most likely be placed in a transitional program or have the option to compete for unfilled vacancies in Army programs after the match. Chances for civilian deferment will be few, if any."
So if someone is placed into a transitional program, and reapplies the next year, do they enter the residency as a 1st or 2nd year resident?

If you look at psych, IM, FP, Comlex 2 scores - some HPSP graduates matched into these residencies with Comlex scores which are 2-3 standard deviations below the mean. In essence the bottom performers are so bad, they really have no realistic chance of passing COMLEX 2 much less any national board certification. I think this supports my contention that the bottom performers have no real business pursuing a medical career.
The average scores for entrants into these residencies are well.. average... but that is not factoring in the applicants with failures into the calculation - interesting decision to omit these scores in the mean calculation.
That is my point - they can practice and do practice as PGY-1'sI'm confused. I haven't seen much in COMLEX scores, so I checked the NBOME website:
"Standard scores (3-digit). The mean 3-digit standard scores of all three written examinations are 500, regardless of when the examinations are given. The minimal passing 3-digit standard score for Level 1 and Level 2 (CE) is 400, for Level 3 is 350, regardless of when the examinations are taken."
Some of the scores listed as matching into the specialties in the PDF file you mentioned are below that, particularly the Level 2 mark. How can they practice, even in a training program, if they haven't passed the requisite boards?
Just an update, had a lecture by Col Powers today and he stated that for the upcoming match it'll have 386 students not 378 students with only 376 spots available. To qualify for a defferemtn you'll need to have passed step 1, 2 and BOLC
I'm going to say no not everyone qualifies. I'm thinking that if you apply IM and there are spots that go unfilled in IM you will have to do a mil residency, however if you apply for surgery or EM and that gets filled and you don't match you may have the ability to apply for a civ defermentDoes everyone qualify for a deferment (assuming they pass step 1, step 2 and BOLC) or is it only specific specialties?
