Those matched were compared those did not are shown Table 1. Comparisons made Chi-square tests, Fisher's exact Wilcoxon rank sum tests. RESULTS: A total 522 (UA) responded during time frame study, representing 25% UA match, 480 (88%) respective years. overall rate higher reported (75%) same frame. Matched programs, received, attended interviews (Table 1). Receiving honors clerkships important receiving rotation alone. earned one honor grade rotations counterparts (p<0.001). Higher Step 1 scores (p<0.001), 2 scores, away (p<0.001) abstracts/posters/presentations associated significantly with successful CONCLUSIONS: Database suggests rotations, on clerkship applications, offered, all play a role successfully matching. Without enhanced process, will continue can conceivably review, perpetuating need cut-offs interviews.
