Man that's a big portion of the class going primary care for KCOM. Although, they do have a decent amount of nice University matches.

Ortho match at University of Colorado is insane... I don’t think they’ve ever taken a DO...

They took one last year!

This bro had heavy scores / pubs and paid to rotate there. He earned it. Colorado’s research track went unfilled this year
 
Class size increase by 2024 can be sustained because there is still a few K surplus of residency spots. Most of those grads will go to undesirable locations and push out IMG/FMGs.

BUT WE CAN ONLY TAKE QUALITY EXPANSION moving forward. AAMC requested a 30% increase in US med school enrollment in 2002. We (MD/DO) have increased enrollment by 52%.
Any further expansion if any at all must be controlled to ensure it is small, controlled, and quality. That can only happen through advocacy to LCME/COCA.

USMLE pass/fail is more of a variable. COMLEX might go pass/fail too. Hopefully USMLE step 2ck still being scored tempers that storm for now. Meanwhile pray that specialty societies/boards create specialty specific exams for med students. Or pray for any type of objective nationally standardized metric to emerge.

In the doomsday scenario where all objectivity is removed from medicine and all objective metrics/standards are obliterated in favor of nepotism/cronyism/elitism, DOs and mid/low tier MD students will have to be more strategic and smart about away rotations and regions. The DO profession survived and did well with the creation of RVU, single accreditation, and massive expansion the last decade. It will continue the same trajectory if enough people stick around, recognize the role med ed has in patient safety, and advocate
 
My matched program hasn't reached out to me yet. Should I reach out to them?

Nice matches to Virginia Mason surprised to see 2 going there.

GWU and UC Irvine are great as well.

Skagit is weird. They have MMIs for the interview day.

Tons of university FM and IM too (Majority of the class was IM/FM then PMR/Anesth if I remember, everyone had great spots! I was blown away!)

Quick question, I see that there are around 40k active applicants for 37k positions offered reported. Were IMGs and FMGs included in those 40k applicants?

more than that. Only 61% of both FMG and IMGs matched (which is actually a higher percentage than previous years)

So 37k positions offered are not all of the available ones? Some other positions only become available during SOAP?
Click to expand...

Here's an example of how this works (madeup numbers)
  1. 100k Applicants, 75k Positions
  2. Residencies interview applicants. Applicants and programs "rank" eachother in order of preference. Each side submits "Rank Order List" into the "Match Program"
  3. The "Match Program" finds the best pairing of Programs and Applicants, based on the Rank Order List each submitted.
  4. 60k (of the 100k) Applicants successfully MATCH into 60k Programs. These applicants are always referred to as having matched. This leaves 40k leftover applicants and 15k unfilled programs.
  5. 10k (of the 40k unmatched) Applicants successfully SOAP into 10k unfilled Programs. These applicants are sometimes referred to as having matched (when, in reality, they did not technically "match" via the "match program").
  6. This leaves 30k unmatched applicants and 10k unfilled programs.

  5. 15k (of the 40k unmatched) Applicants successfully SOAP into the 15k unfilled Programs. These applicants are sometimes referred to as having matched (when, in reality, they did not technically "match" via the "match program"). This leaves 25k unmatched applicants.

So the quick math would be 100 - 75 = 25k unmatched, just like in the real data 40 - 37 = 3k unmatched, after Match and SOAP.

One of the reasons why IMGs and FMGs keep getting higher and higher match rate is because their numbers of applicants also keep decreasing. 5K out of 10K is 50%, but 5K out of 8K is 62%.

Edit: It will probably start decreasing once the bottleneck occurs with the increasing number of US applicants.

I edited the numbers a bit in my initial response btw.

Those 3k are post-SOAP and post-Match.

They also got a bit of a bump from former unfilled AOA programs.

Only about 700-800 less US-IMGs and FMGs from 2016, but this a great point! I didn't even notice that their application volume had been declining.

Also, the old AOA programs that converted to ACGME this year were now available to IMGs and FMGs. Hundreds of these positions were always left unfilled for whatever reason. I highly believe that these programs took IMGs and FMGs, thus giving them a spot that wasn't there a year ago.

Edit: you beat me to it.

What's jarring is that their takeaway message seems to be "Yea, primary care is totally doable from the Caribbean" rather than "Holy **** I just spent 20k on applications to 530 FM programs and only got 17 interviews" or "Yikes only ~130 people from my original class of 270 matched, half of which had to repeat a class 😳)
