Article Synopsis
- Program signaling (PS) was introduced in the emergency medicine residency application process during the 2022-2023 cycle, allowing applicants to indicate their preferred programs.
- A study assessing how program directors utilized PS involved a 41% response rate from EM residency programs, indicating most participated and had an average of 60 signals received, influenced by factors like geographic location and program type.
- Overall, while PS was used primarily in holistic reviews (52.2% of responses), its perceived importance was notably lower compared to traditional application elements like standardized letters of evaluation.
Background: The objective of this study was to determine the advising and emergency medicine (EM) residency selection practices for special population applicant groups for whom traditional advice may not apply.
Methods: A survey was distributed on the Council of Residency Directors in EM and Clerkship Directors in EM Academy listservs. Multiple choice, Likert-type scale, and fill-in-the-blank questions addressed the average EM applicant and special population groups (osteopathic; international medical graduate (IMG); couples; at-risk; re-applicant; dual-accreditation applicant; and military).
