These skills, which are tied to research exposure, may help instill a culture of evidence-based medicine among physicians. Amgad, et al. performed an integrated mixed-methods systemic review and meta-analysis of published studies on medical students’ participation in research. They demonstrated that medical student participation in research is associated with improved scientific productivity (both shortand long-term), more informed career choices, and improved knowledge and interest toward research. Additionally, a demonstrated research experience during medical school is becoming increasingly important to enhance competitiveness of medical students for residencies. In 2016, the National Resident Matching Program conducted a survey of program directors participating in the Main Residency Match to identify the factors that program directors use to select applicants to interview and rank applicants for the Match. In this report, questionnaires were sent to 3,599 program directors for all specialties and 1,435 responded. For highly competitive residencies, such as dermatology, neurological surgery, orthopedic surgery, otolaryngology, plastic surgery, radiation oncology, and vascular surgery, the percentage of program directors who consider research when choosing applicants to interview was above 65%. For neurological surgery and radiation oncology it was 83% and 85%, respectively. Even in less competitive residency programs, such as family medicine, around two research experiences and at least two publications, abstracts, or presentations were reported for both students matched and unmatched into residency programs, indicating that at least some research exposure is considered for all fields.
