This is interesting, but more indicative of the institutions' quality (and quantity) of research than of education.

This is interesting, but more indicative of the institutions' quality (and quantity) of research than of education.

The only form of quality would be the match list. Medical schools must be focused on maximizing students' step scores and optimizing residency match.
If there are schools that advertise themselves based on these two factors, more students will come to these schools.

Harvard down to #21? man, are they slipping or what??

Harvard down to #21? man, are they slipping or what??

Harvard medical school by itself is not one of the biggest research enterprises. It is HMS + MGH + BWH + Dana Farber + etc. that is the monster enterprise commonly considered "Harvard"

The only form of quality would be the match list. Medical schools must be focused on maximizing students' step scores and optimizing residency match.
If there are schools that advertise themselves based on these two factors, more students will come to these schools.

Match lists and step scores are a very poor measure of medical education. First, not everyone wants to match at a big name program. Second, it is impossible to know how students ranked programs and the rank number they matched at. There are just too many confounding issues that make the above factors weak tools for metricizing the quality of education.

Not true.

Match lists containing lots of competitive specialties and hospitals means that the students from that school had the option to match anywhere they wanted to. If a school has none of that on their match list you can't possibly believe that not a SINGLE student desired internal medicine at mass general or dermatology and that the majority were just saints wanting to go to small community hospitals in Vermont and western Pennsylvania.

 

[pasquals]

I agree with above. I would argue everybody wants to match at a big name program- sometimes location makes it difficult b/c the big name is in a bad place. But there is always a top institution in a region and a top student will generally get an interview there

This list has absolutely no use other than substrate for bragging by programs on the med school and residency interview trails.

This largely depends on the student. if you go to Stanford Med and choose to bum, you won't match. Every LCME-accredited institution will provide the basics and even more in most cases. It is up to the student to work hard. Every med school will have at least a handful of people who match at very competitive schools. Look at Hopkins Anesthesia--there are at least 2 folks from PCOM.

And believe me, some students don't make their rank lists entirely based on prestige. Location was HUUUGE for me and many others I know.

This list has absolutely no use other than substrate for bragging by programs on the med school and residency interview trails.

Idk charting the match uses top 40 NIH funding as a stat point. Someone thinks it's useful out there.

 

[Dave89]

Idk charting the match uses top 40 NIH funding as a stat point. Someone thinks it's useful out there.

There's a correlation, as those schools are, generally speaking, the top medical schools. So, I suppose that the list is useful apart from the funding data.

Harvard down to #21? man, are they slipping or what??

Someone can correct me if I'm wrong but I think that since MGH isn't technically "owned" by Harvard, the money that goes to MGH doesn't count.

MGH (all by itself) apparently has an annual research budget of over 786 million (http://www.massgeneral.org/about/overview.aspx).
