Abstract:
:Only one third of the applicants for training in pediatric surgery obtain a position through the pediatric surgery matching program. In order to identify factors that contribute to a successful outcome, we conducted a retrospective survey of all participants in the matching process for positions during the years 1983 to 1991. This survey was designed to identify characteristics associated with success in the match through comparison of successful and unsuccessful applicants. Significant factors associated with a successful match included: a greater incidence of residency-supported research (P = .012) with a greater number of publications (P = .003) and national presentations (P = .014), specifically at the annual meetings of the American Pediatric Surgical Association (P = .05) and the American Academy of Pediatrics (P = .05). In addition, successful candidates had more contact with (P = .004) and letters of recommendation from (P = .015) well-known pediatric surgeons involved in the general surgical residency program. This information should be invaluable to those counseling medical students and residents interested in a career in pediatric surgery.
