Hi Guys,
what is the best search tool for the residency programs?
it's my first year to apply and I am not sure?

There are many tools that you can use, but I think the most basic one is FREIDA:

FREIDA Residency Program Database | Medical Fellowship Database | AMA

Looking for the right medical residency? Get started by searching 12,000 medical residency and fellowship programs on the AMA's FREIDA database.

freida.ama-assn.org

There are more tools that you can use with one of them launched last year and that I found really useful:

Residency Explorer™ Tool: Home

www.residencyexplorer.org

I am sure there are more search tools that I dont know about, but those 2 are the main ones that I used.

Thanks much appreciate it.

Is there any search tool that you can filter by average USMLE/COMLEX scores at the program instead of their published cutoff scores? TIA.

Nope. If a program doesn't publish that information, there's no way for you to get it.

I tried to find the way with COMPLEX without success. But I found a relatively fast solution with USMLE Step 1 on the way. I walked over programs by pressing the next button and bookmarking programs with a low average score here. After registration and selecting a specialty, you will be able to choose a free list. Select the first program and press the next button then. Maybe, one hour or less.

For ResidencyExplorer for the specialty I am interested in although some programs don’t have a published range/average listed it appears to still give you “you are in the bottom 25%/middle 50%/top 25% of this programs Step 1 scores”.
Are programs able to give some sort of bell curve for this metric without explicitly giving their average? Where does this reference come from?
