Area of Science:

  • Orthopaedic Surgery
  • Medical Education
  • Military Health Systems

Background:

  • Selection criteria for U.S. Army orthopaedic surgery residency programs are not well-documented.
  • Understanding these factors is vital for successful applicant matching and program development.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To identify and rank the key factors influencing successful selection into U.S. Army orthopaedic surgery residency programs.
  • To provide data-driven insights for program directors and aspiring applicants.

Main Methods:

  • A survey was distributed to program directors (PDs) of all U.S. Army orthopaedic surgery residency programs.
  • PDs ranked 17 historically critical selection factors and assigned importance levels.
  • Data were collated to determine overall mean rankings.

Main Results:

  • On-site orthopaedic surgery rotation performance at the institution was ranked as the most important factor.
  • United States Medical Licensing Examination (USMLE) Steps 1 and 2 scores were ranked as the second and third most important, respectively.
  • Letters of recommendation and personal statements were assigned low importance; no discrimination was made based on allopathic or osteopathic degrees.

Conclusions:

  • Clerkship performance and licensing examination scores are paramount for U.S. Army orthopaedic surgery residency selection.
  • Army programs value both USMLE and the Comprehensive Osteopathic Medical Licensing Examination (COMLEX) due to a significant number of successful osteopathic applicants.
