Pre-residency publication and its association with paediatric residency match outcomea??a??retrospective analysis of a??national database

摘要

IntroductionScholarly activity is considered valuable in the resident selection process by candidates and program directors alike, despite existing literature suggesting applicants with scholarly work do not perform better in the match. These studies, however, are limited in that they have only measured whether candidates have successfully matched or not. To try and reconcile the existing disconnect in the value of pre-residency scholarly activity, we sought to deepen the understanding by investigating whether pre-residency publication is associated with a??higher rank-order list match achievement.
