This report covers application patterns and the match results for the 2003 PGY-1 Match for positions to begin July 1, 2003 in each of the medical schools participating in CaRMS. The match is run in two iterations and the results are reported here in two separate sections.

Summary

The 2003 Match is characterized by an increased graduating class size, fewer extra positions in the Match than in the previous two years and a sharp decline in interest in family medicine which was first seen as a 37% drop in the number of applicants to family medicine. Ninety percent (90%) of matched Canadian medical school applicants matched to their firs t choice discipline.

First Iteration

Applicant Registration

Eligibility for the 2003 PGY-1 Match was governed at the medical schools by the Association of Canadian Medical College’s policy, first implemented in 1994, which states that only students graduating from Canadian medical schools and prior year Canadian graduates who had not completed any postgraduate training were eligible to be ranked in the First Iteration of the 2003 PGY-1 Match.

The graduating class of 2003 was larger than last year, with approximately 100 more students than in 2002, graduating from the 13 schools participating in CaRMS. As in other matches, 23 prior year graduates also applied for postgraduate training this year. For the first time International Medical Graduates (IMGs) who met the criteria of the Collège des médecins du Québec (CMQ), were eligible to apply in the First Iteration to programs in Quebec. As McGill participates in the Match, there were 13 IMGs in the First Iteration. Eight (8) applicants were graduates from medical schools in the U.S. who were Canadian citizens wanting to return to Canada for postgraduate training.

Graduating Students in NRMP

There were 95 Canadian students registered in the NRMP Match for a postgraduate position in the U.S. Many of these graduates are students here in Canada on a student VISA who cannot be ranked in most of the provinces.

National Defense

Ten Canadian medical students were sponsored by the military for family medicine training, all of whom were matched.

Initially 17 graduates from U.S. medical schools registered with CaRMS and applied in this match. All 17 were Canadian citizens. This is a large increase over other years. Nine (9) of them withdrew and probably were matched in the U.S. In addition 73 students from the three non participating schools in Quebec registered with CaRMS and applied to programs across Canada. All but 15 eventually withdrew. Most accepted a position in Quebec.

Program Registration

Although there were 57 more positions submitted to the Match this year than for the 2002 PGY-1 Match, the additional graduates meant that whereas in 2002 there were an extra 143 positions for the eligible graduates, this year there were only 65. Of the 57 new positions in PGY-1, 53 were in specialties and 4 were in family medicine .

Application Statistics

The final match results can be predicted by reviewing the application patterns of the graduates. The disciplines that increased the applicant pool this year included obstetrics/gynecology, neurosurgery, radiation oncology and orthopedic surgery. The disciplines that experienced a significant decline in their applicant pool includes family medicine, emergency medicine, neurology, PM & R and urology.

The application patterns of 2003 graduates differed from previous years in important ways. This class applied to fewer programs than any graduating class since 1994 and applied to fewer disciplines than previous graduating classes. I believe that this application pattern had a negative effect on the overall match results for students.

e-CaRMS

Applicants entered their applications through our new electronic application service called e-CaRMS. This is an electronic, internet based application service with three components: Applicant Web Station (AWS), the Program Directors Web Station (PDWS) and the CaRMS Application Web Station (CAWS). The introduction of the e-CaRMS allowed CaRMS to move deadlines for application and program selection from the end of September to the end of November, giving graduating students eight (8) more weeks to consider their career options and complete electives and core rotations prior to deciding on a discipline. There were some initial problems with the delivery of the in-house servers and capacity but by the end of November these issues had been corrected.

Residency Programs

One system administrator account was set up for each of the 298 programs participating in the Match. The system administrator was the gatekeeper, with the capability of setting up new users for their program.

All programs went on-line to begin assessing their files on December 2. In response to concerns of programs CaRMS produced a CD for each program which contained all of the applicant files as of the first week of December. Unfortunately, not all reference letters had arrived by the time the CDs were prepared and some programs were reluctant to go on-line and review the amendments or additions to their application files .

Programs had a three week window to review the files and select the applicants they wished to interview. Interviews began the second week of January. The interviews ended on January 31 and the programs had until February 7 to complete their rank order lists.

For the first time since 1986, no applicants requested to have changes made to their rank order list after the deadline of February 12. Congratulations to the class of 2003!

First Iteration Match Results

The Match results were posted on the web this year with no paper follow-up. The results were released in two stages; on Monday March 12, results were released indicating whether students were matched or unmatched. The detailed match results were posted on Wednesday, March 14 at noon EST. No serious problems were reported on either day although the volume was high.

Overall match results each year appear to be affected by the proportion of positions to applicants as can be seen in Table V. The reduced ratio of positions to applicants, and the application patterns of the 2003 class resulted in more unmatched students and fewer students matched to programs within their top three choices.

International Medical Graduates. Thirteen (13) IMGs who were CMQ approved entered the First Iteration to apply exclusively to McGill programs. Six (6) of the IMGs chose family medicine first and the first choices of the remaining seven were: anatomical pathology, dermatology, internal medicine, ophthalmology, pediatrics, plastic surgery and radiation oncology. Eight (8) IMG applicants were matched.

Alternate Career Matches. One hundred and seventeen (117) or 11% of Canadian medical school graduates were matched to a discipline that was not their first choice. One hundred and two (102) were matched to their second choice, (of which 41 went to family medicine, 20 to internal medicine and 11 to general surgery ). Thirteen (13) were matched into their third choice and only two (2) people were matched to lower than their third choice discipline.

Career Choice of Canadian Students and Graduates

2003 graduates differed from previous classes a number of ways: proportionately more chose careers in anesthesia, diagnostic radiology, obstetrics/gynecology, orthopedics, and neurosurgery; and fewer graduates chose to train in family medicine, general surgery, ophthalmology, physical medicine or rehabilitation programs.

Family Medicine as a Career Choice

Family medicine declined sharply as a career choice for the graduates of 2003 compared to other years as can be seen in Table IX. CaRMS has been tracking the interest of the graduating students in a career in family medicine as evidenced by family medicine as a first choice discipline in the PGY-1 Match. Although the opportunity remains relatively constant, the interest has fallen off.

Table X looks at the proportion of each graduating class that chose family medicine as their first choice of training; the proportion of the positions in family medicine filled in that university; and the number of vacancies left in family medicine in each university. The Universities of Saskatchewan and Calgary had the highest proportion of graduates choosing family medicine and the University of Alberta had the lowest at 16%. This is a significant change in University of Alberta where in 2002, 28% of Alberta graduates chose family medicine. Two other schools experienced a large decline in interest in family medicine since 2002, Dalhousie had 36% of the class ranking family medicine first last year and McMaster had 52%. This year that interest had dropped to 22% at Dalhousie and 30% at McMaster. The Universities of Ottawa, Alberta, McMaster and Dalhousie have traditionally the largest proportion of their graduates choosing a career in family medicine.

Reversions of Quota in the CaRMS Match

The Match Program has always provided the functionality to revert quota from a program which did not fill during the match directly to another program during the running of the match.

In 1996, at the request of the Postgraduate Deans, CaRMS introduced an added feature for reversions. Postgraduate Deans can elect to move quota from one or more programs that did not fill , into a pool. The Postgraduate Dean provides CaRMS with a list of programs that would receive an additional position from the pool. This added feature allows the optimal use of vacancies without having to guess where the vacancies will occur.

The benefit of the reversion process is to use an unfilled position to increase the quota in another program that may have more opportunity to match. Ultimately, more students are matched into preferred positions and therefore it is a benefit to students as well as programs.

Table XIa and XIb below, show the programs by discipline that donated quota and the programs that received quota through the reversion process in the first iteration of the match 2003

Table XIa - Donating Programs Reversion Report 2003 Match

Donating Programs	Total Quota Donated	Total Vacancies across Canada
Community Medicine	1	2
Family Medicine	4	139
Laboratory Medicine	1	2
Medical Genetics	1	-
PM & R	1	4

The Postgraduate Programs that reverted programs were McGill University converting a medical genetics position to pediatrics, Queen’s University converting a laboratory medicine position to diagnostic radiology, University of Toronto converting a PM & R position to internal medicine, McMaster converting community medicine to emergency medicine; two (2) positions in family medicine to internal medicine and Western Ontario converting two (2) family medicine positions, one to laboratory medicine and one to internal medicine.

Table XIb indicates the receiving programs by discipline and how many positions were increased in each discipline. The second column indicates the number of positions that filled in the receiving program and the next column shows the total number of vacancies in that discipline (nationally).

Match Results by Geographic Location

Universities of Toronto, Manitoba and Saskatchewan have the highest proportion of their graduating class staying home for postgraduate training. Conversely, Queen’s, McMaster and Alberta have the highest proportion of their graduates matched away for postgraduate training. Only 39% (compared to 43% of the 2002 graduates) were matched to their home school and 61% will begin postgraduate training in a different faculty after graduation. Twenty-four percent (24%) were matched to schools in the same province as their medical school and 36% left the province to train. Understandably, one of the most important outcomes of a national match is the opportunity to match to out-of-town and out-of-province locations, providing truly national opportunities for graduating students. See Table XXXII, Page 32.

Results by Gender

For several years, women have had better match results than their male classmates when comparing the percent who are matched to first choice discipline. In the 2003 Match results, 83% of women matched to their first choice discipline compared to 70% of men. Additionally more women matched to an alternate discipline, whereas more men were unmatched. Perhaps women were more likely to rank alternate disciplines rather than being unmatched.
