ABSTRACT
INTRODUCTION:
The 2023 Match saw over 500 unfilled positions in emergency medicine (EM). Geographic location is the third most important factor for all United States (US) EM-bound senior medical students when selecting programs to rank and can be affected by political climate. Given the perceived importance of geography on program selection and recent changes to reproductive rights in the US, we sought to evaluate the impact of geography and reproductive rights on unmatched positions among EM programs.METHODS:
This was a cross-sectional study assessing Match rates in EM by program US state, region, and degree of reproductive rights. We included all EM programs participating in the 2023 Match year. Our primary outcome was to determine the unfilled programs and positions rate per US state. Secondary outcomes included Match rates by region and by degree of reproductive rights.RESULTS:
We found notable differences in unfilled programs by US state, with the highest percentage of unfilled programs and positions in Arkansas (100%, 56.3%), Nevada (100%, 35.5%), Kansas (100%, 40.0%), Ohio (81.3%, 33.3%), and Michigan (80.0%, (36.8%). Among regions, the highest percentage of unfilled programs (62.5%) and residency positions (26.0%) was East North Central (IL, IN, MI, OH, WI). US states with limited reproductive rights had the highest percent (52.9%) of programs with unmatched positions and the highest percent (20.5%) of unfilled positions.CONCLUSION:
We identified notable differences in unmatched positions by US state and region, as well as the highest rate of unmatched positions in US states with more limited reproductive rights.Palavras-chave
