Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to assess medical students' views on the transition to pass/fail scoring for the USMLE Step 1 exam and its impact on anxiety, especially regarding applications to competitive specialties.
- A survey was conducted among Penn State College of Medicine students, revealing that while most (73.2%) supported the pass/fail system, anxiety about Step 2 scores increased, particularly among those applying to competitive specialties.
- The results indicated a notable difference in perceived matching chances for competitive versus non-competitive specialties, with significant implications for how students view key components of residency applications, such as letters of recommendation.

The financial costs associated with publishing in academic journals have steadily risen in recent years, reflected by higher publishing fees and the emergence of open access (OA) publishing models. Research remains an essential part of academia and has special significance for residency applicants. Due to recent changes in some objective measures used to rank residency applicants, such as abandoning numerical United States Medical Licensing Examination (USMLE) Step 1 scores and transitioning pre-clinical grades to Pass/Fail, other objective measures have gained significance: in particular, the quality and quantity of research activities including manuscripts, abstracts, and presentations have become more important in residency applications.
