: Assessment of an individual medical school's performance in the match is an important outcome of the educational program. Unfortunately, student rank lists are not public. A method to objectively gauge the quality of an institution's match regardless of student preference has not been described in the literature.: This manuscript serves to determine the relative weights of included variables and derive a statistically valid Match Quality Score (MQS).: Between 2016 and 2018, student affairs experts derived from a national cohort validated the MQS by scoring factitious mini-match lists that covered three variables: student's , specialty , and residency program .: Of the variables assessed, only and were found to be significant. We derived the resulting coefficients for the Match Quality Score (MQS) as: [3.74A (# students successfully matched) + 2.34B (# students matching into their initial specialty in the SOAP process) + 1.77C (# students who secured a SOAP position in another specialty) + 0.26D (# students matching into a specialty where there are more applicants than spots)]/Total # students.: The MQS is a potentially useful educational outcome measurement for US medical schools and may be considered as an outcome measure for continuous quality improvement to tailor future institutional changes to training, mentoring, and student-advising programs.
评估个体医学院校在 Match 中的表现是教育项目的一个重要成果。遗憾的是，学生排名列表并不公开。目前文献中尚未描述一种能够客观评估机构 Match 质量的方法，而不考虑学生的偏好。
本手稿旨在确定纳入变量的相对权重，并得出一个统计学上有效的 Match Quality Score（MQS）。
在 2016 年至 2018 年期间，学生事务专家从全国队列中得出了 MQS 的分数，通过对涵盖三个变量的虚构迷你 Match 列表进行评分：学生的、专业和居住计划。
在所评估的变量中，只有和被发现具有显著意义。我们得出 Match Quality Score（MQS）的结果系数为：[3.74A（成功匹配的学生人数）+2.34B（SOAP 过程中按初始专业匹配的学生人数）+1.77C（在另一个专业中获得 SOAP 职位的学生人数）+0.26D（匹配到申请人数超过名额的专业的学生人数）]/总学生人数。
MQS 是美国医学院校的一种潜在有用的教育成果衡量标准，可被视为持续质量改进的成果衡量标准，以调整未来的机构变革，使其适应培训、指导和学生咨询计划。
