In a 1990 study we investigated resident applicant characteristics associated with successful matching into otolaryngology. Of the 175 applicants studied, 87 matched, for a 49.7% success rate. Successful matching was much more likely for applicants with a history of excellent academic achievement in medical school. Of the 88 applicants who did not match during the year that was originally studied, 30 matched to otolaryngology in subsequent years. Of the 58 who never matched in otolaryngology, there is no evidence of board certification for 30. Of the other 28, 12 are board certified in anesthesia; 3 in radiology; 2 each in family medicine, internal medicine, general surgery, psychiatry, and physical medicine, and rehabilitation; and 1 each in pathology, emergency medicine, and dermatology. Of the total of 117 who matched in otolaryngology, 109 began residency training, and 107 finished otolaryngology training. Program directors answered questionnaires about 100 of 107 of these residents, detailing aspects of residency performance. The only correlation found between a highly satisfactory residency performance and characteristics that could be evaluated at the time of interviewing for residency positions was with excellent academic performance in medical school.
在1990年的一项研究中，我们调查了与成功匹配进入耳鼻喉科相关的住院医师申请人特征。在研究的175名申请人中，87人匹配成功，成功率为49.7%。医学院学业成绩优异的申请人更有可能成功匹配。在最初研究的那一年未匹配成功的88名申请人中，有30人在随后几年中匹配到了耳鼻喉科。在58名从未匹配到耳鼻喉科的人中，30人没有获得委员会认证的证据。在其他28人中，12人获得麻醉科委员会认证；3人获得放射科委员会认证；家庭医学、内科、普通外科、精神病学、物理医学与康复科各有2人获得委员会认证；病理学、急诊医学和皮肤科各有1人获得委员会认证。在总共117名匹配到耳鼻喉科的人中，109人开始了住院医师培训，107人完成了耳鼻喉科培训。项目主任对其中107名住院医师中的100人进行了问卷调查，详细说明了住院医师表现的各个方面。在面试住院医师职位时可评估的特征与高度令人满意的住院医师表现之间唯一发现的关联是医学院的优异学业成绩。
