Objective: This study aims to investigate potential differences in surgical subspecialty match rates between medical schools with and without elective rotations in the respective surgical subspecialties. Design: Data on duration of surgical rotations were retrieved from each school's public website. Fisher exact tests were performed to identify any statistically significant differences in surgical specialty match rates by allopathic versus osteopathic and elective clinical exposure. A linear regression was performed to determine the correlation between number of surgical electives offered and proportion of students matching in any surgical subspecialty. Results: The number of surgical electives offered by allopathic medical schools positively correlated with the proportion of students matching in any surgical specialty (R2 = 0.038, p = 0.018). Elective rotations in surgical subspecialties were associated with higher match rates in ophthalmology (OR 1.864, 95 % CI 1.196, 3.059, p |
