- There is ongoing uncertainty about what makes a competitive applicant for orthopaedic surgery residency, so researchers analyzed data from 2020 to 2023 to identify crucial traits and metrics.
- Factors such as standardized exam scores, research experience, and extracurricular involvement were examined alongside subjective comments from applicants to determine their importance in the matching process.
- The study found that top-performing applicants, particularly those in the first quartile of their class and with high board exam scores, were significantly more likely to match, highlighting the value of both quantifiable metrics and personal attributes in residency applications.
