Parallel Application to US Psychiatry Residency Programs: Trends in Frequency and Differences by Applicant Group, 2009-2021
ACADEMIC PSYCHIATRY(2024)
摘要
ObjectiveThe present study examines trends of percent of applicants, number of specialties, and specialty combinations for psychiatry residency applicants applying to multiple specialties (parallel application).MethodsThe authors conducted a retrospective analysis of data captured by the Association of American Medical Colleges Electronic Residency Application System for applicants to psychiatry residency between 2009 and 2021. The percent parallel-applying, the mean number of specialties, mean application counts, and frequency of specialty combinations with psychiatry residency were determined.ResultsThe dataset described 67,261 applicants. The percentage parallel-applying decreased from 73.7% in 2009 to 60.0% in 2021. International Medical Graduates and U.S. International Medical Graduate parallel-applied at the greatest rate in each year. Applicants who were parallel-applying submitted larger numbers of applications compared to those who were single-specialty applying.ConclusionsParallel application to psychiatry residency appears to be a common practice, but has decreased in frequency. However, the mean numbers of applications submitted to each specialty in parallel application combination and among single-specialty applicants have increased. This practice appears to have a disproportionate impact on international and osteopathic applicants. Additional efforts are needed to develop evidence-based advising tools to reduce the number of residency applications submitted to psychiatry programs.
