1 The Osteopathic GME Match Report, for the2012 Match
Introduction
The American Association of Colleges of Osteopathic Medicine (AACOM), in cooperation withthe American Osteopathic Association (AOA) and the National Board of Osteopathic Medical
Examiners, Inc. (NBOME), compiled The Osteopathic GME Match Report, for the 2012 Matchtosupport osteopathic medical students in their specialty selection and participation in theosteopathic graduate medical education match program. The report may also provide usefuldata for the colleges of osteopathic medicine, osteopathic graduate medical education programsand others interested in osteopathic medical educations programs, policies and processesrelated to graduate medical education and specialty choice. The report is descriptive only, andno inferences can be drawn from the data presented.
This report was first produced for the 2009 match in response to a request from the Council ofOsteopathic Student Government Presidents (COSGP) for a report that would help guidestudents in their specialty selection and matching process for the osteopathic graduate medicaleducation match. Similar reports have been produced for the National Residency Matching
Program Main Residency Match.1
The report is produced by AACOM, with participation by the AOA and the NBOME. Theprincipal author is AACOM Vice President for Research and Assistant to the President ThomasLevitan, MEd. Data included in the report were provided by the AOA and the NBOME. TerriLischka of AOA and William Roberts, EdD, of NBOME compiled the data from their respectiveorganizations.
Methodology

Student records from each data source were matched by a key unknown to the author to ensurestudent and school confidentiality.
AACOM used the resulting data set to compile this report.
Confidentiality
Various measures were taken in the preparation of this report to ensure confidentiality andprotection of individual data for both match participants and the osteopathic medical colleges.
After the data provided by AOA and NBOME were matched, personal identifiers wereremoved.
The data elements of the report are reported only when there are at least six cases;when there are fewer than six cases, no data are reported.
For this report, individual school data are suppressed.
Limitations
The report has several significant limitations.
First, the size of the osteopathic graduate medical education program limits the analysisthat can be conducted while maintaining confidentiality of match participants. For the2012 osteopathic medicine match there were 2,655 available positions and 2,373participants in the osteopathic graduate medical education match. Only 1,766participants who matched and for whom data are available are included in this analysis.
Second, the sample was limited to graduates of colleges of osteopathic medicine
(COMs) who elected to continue osteopathic graduate medical education training inAOA-accredited residency training programs that are part of the AOA GME match. Thesample did not include those graduates who enrolled in ACGME-accredited residencytraining programs or those who enrolled in military GME programs.
Third, the report includes historical data only, which should be interpreted with cautionand not used for predictive purposes.
Fourth, residency program directors consider many factors in the resident selectionprocess, and the factors addressed in this report are limited and not entirely reflective ofthe many decisions involved in the selection process. Inclusion of these factors in thisreport should in no way lead the reader to infer that it is the position of AACOM, the
AOA, or the NBOME that these factors are the most important for residency programdirectors to consider in evaluating applicants for residency training positions.

Factors that May Influence Match Success
Several data elements that are collected in the OGME match application may impact thelikelihood of match to first-choice specialty. The following charts display these elements acrossall specialties for which enough data are available. Internal Medicine-Pediatrics and PhysicalMedicine and Rehabilitation, both with fewer than six first-choice matches, are not included to
maintain the confidentiality of the data of the individuals who matched in this specialty. Therewere no first-choice matches in Proctology.
Those specialties included in the charts are:
All specialties Neuromusculoskeletal Medicine/OMT
Anesthesiology Obstetrics & Gynecology
Diagnostic Radiology Ophthalmology
Emergency Medicine Orthopedic Surgery
Family Practice Otolaryngology and Facial Plastic Surgery
Family Practice-Emergency Medicine Pediatrics
Integrated Family Practice-NMM Psychiatry
Internal Medicine Surgery, GeneralInternal Medicine-Emergency Medicine Traditional Rotating Internship
Neurological Surgery Urological SurgeryNeurology
Data are not displayed for matches that are not first-choice because there are not enough casesto provide meaningful information.
As noted in the limitations section of this report, there are multiple factors that influencespecialty choice, both by the program director selecting applicants and by the applicantsseeking specialties. Evaluations of the quantitative factors reported here are only part of theselection process for specialty selection by program directors and applicants.

Number of Contiguous Designations of First-Choice Specialty All Specialties
There is an assumption that a candidates likelihood of matching to her/his first-choice specialtyis increased by the number of contiguous designations of that first-choice specialty beforeselecting a different specialty. Contiguous designations refers to the number of times anapplicant designates a specific specialty (in multiple programs) before designating a different
specialty.
Data are reported on 1,766 DO graduates for whom data are available who participated in the2012 osteopathic graduate medical education match. In the osteopathic match, across allspecialties, 91.8 percent of participants matched to the first-choice specialty. Selection of thesame specialty multiple times does not appear to be as important a factor, as displayed in thefollowing charts. This may be in part because of the limited number of programs in the mostcompetitive specialties and in osteopathic GME in general.
Charts 10 below displays the number of contiguous designations of the first-choice specialty forthose who matched to her/his first choice and those who matched but not to her/his first choice.
412 of 1,621 participants (25.4 percent) who matched to the first-choice specialtydesignated it only once before designating a different specialty and 384 (23.7 percent)designated the first-choice specialty more than five times before designating a differentspecialty.
86 of 145 participants (59.3 percent) who matched, but not to the first-choice specialty,designated it only once before designating a different specialty.

COMLEX-USA Data
Scores and passing status on the Comprehensive Osteopathic Medical Licensing Examinations(COMLEX-USA) Levels 1, 2-CE and 2-PE are reported by the National Board of OsteopathicMedical Examiners (NBOME) as part of the OGME match process. For this project, NBOMEmatched scores and passing status to other match data. NBOME reported standard scores on
the first attempt at the exam for COMLEX-USA Levels 1 and 2-CE, and the number of timeseach examination was taken to attain a passing score for all three exams. All data reported onthe following charts are for participants who matched to a first-choice specialty.
Data presented in the report are:
COMLEX-USA Levels 1 and 2-CE
Highest and lowest scores and mean of scoresfor participants who took the examsmore than one time to attain a passing score, all scores are reported based on the firstattempt.
Percentage of participants who passed the exams on the first attempt.
COMLEX-USA Level 2-PE Percentage of participants who passed the exams on the first attempt.
Standard scores are not reported for COMLEX-USA Level 2-PE.
The intended purpose of COMLEX-USA is to assure the public that an osteopathic physicianhas the knowledge and clinical skills to practice osteopathic medicine. Each state is responsiblefor granting licenses for medical professionals to practice medicine. While each state licensingboard may set its own licensure criteria, passage of the COMLEX-USA is used for licensuredetermination.
A secondary use of COMLEX-USA by residency program directors is in resident selection.Residency program directors use many criteria, of which COMLEX-USA is one, to evaluate
residency candidates. The top two criteria used by residency program directors are: 1) Thestudent rotated through the program directors specialty, and 2) Personality match with theprogram. The top two selection criteriaindicate that personal relationships built when doingrotations are of great importance to the residents future success in obtaining a desiredresidency.2 Having a candidate provide COMLEX-USA scores is the third most importantcriterion used by residency program directors, as reported in the cited document.
