Context  The Japan Residency Matching Program (JRMP) launched in 2003 and is now a significant event for graduating medical students and postgraduate residency hospitals. The environment surrounding JRMP changed due to Japanese health policy, resulting in an increase in the number of unsuccessfully-matched students in the JRMP. Beyond policy issues, we suspected there were also common characteristics among the students who do not get a match with residency hospitals.    Methods  In total 237 out of 321 students at The University of Tokyo Faculty of Medicine graduates from 2018 to 2020 participated in the study. The students answered to the questionnaire and gave written consent for using their personal information including the JRMP placement, scores of the pre-clinical clerkship (CC) Objective Structured Clinical Examinations (OSCE), the Computer-Based Test (CBT), the National Board Examination (NBE), and domestic scores for this study. The collected data were statistically analyzed.    Results  The JRMP placements were correlated with some of the pre-CC OSCE factors/stations and/or total scores/global scores. Above all, the result of neurological examination station had most significant correlation between the JRMP placements. On the other hand, the CBT result had no correlation with the JRMP results. The CBT results had significant correlation between the NBE results.    Conclusions  Our data suggest that the pre-clinical clerkship OSCE score and the CBT score, both undertaken before the clinical clerkship, predict important outcomes including the JRMP and the NBE. These results also suggest that the educational resources should be intensively put on those who did not make good scores in the pre-clinical clerkship OSCE and the CBT to avoid the failure in the JRMP and the NBE.
