PURPOSE
The authors sought to determine the value of the audition elective to the overall success of medical students in the match.
METHOD
The authors surveyed 1,335 fourth-year medical students at 10 medical schools in 2013. The study took place over a 2-month period immediately following the match. Medical students were emailed a 14-question survey and asked about audition electives, rank order, and cost of 'away' rotations.
RESULTS
One hundred percent of students wishing to match in otolaryngology, neurosurgery, plastic surgery, radiation oncology, and urology took the audition electives. The difference by specialty in the proportion of students who took an audition was statistically significant (p<0.001). Of the students who auditioned, 71% matched at one of their top three choices compared with 84% of non-auditioners who matched to one of their top three choices (p<0.01).
CONCLUSIONS
Students performed a large number of 'away' rotations as 'auditions' in order to improve their chances in the match. For certain competitive specialties, virtually all students auditioned. Overall, students who did not audition were just as successful as or more successful than students who did audition.
目的
作者试图确定选修试听课程对医学生在住院医师匹配项目中整体成功的价值。
方法
作者在2013年对10所医学院的1335名四年级医学生进行了调查。该研究在匹配项目结束后的紧接着的2个月内进行。通过电子邮件向医学生发送了一份包含14个问题的调查问卷，询问他们关于试听选修课程、排名顺序以及“外地”轮转的费用。
结果
所有希望在耳鼻喉科、神经外科、整形外科、放射肿瘤学和泌尿外科进行匹配的学生都参加了试听选修课程。各专业参加试听的学生比例差异具有统计学意义（p<0.001）。在参加试听的学生中，71%的人在他们的前三个选择中成功匹配，而未参加试听的学生中这一比例为84%（p<0.01）。
结论
学生们进行了大量的“外地”轮转作为“试听”，以提高他们在匹配项目中的机会。对于某些竞争激烈的专业，几乎所有学生都参加了试听。总体而言，未参加试听的学生与参加试听的学生一样成功或更成功。
