Abstract:
Otolaryngology is a competitive specialty, with 398 US seniors applying to an offered 328 positions in 2019. Recent changes to US Medical Licensing Exam (USMLE) Step 1 scoring raise many questions for both medical student applicants and program directors. Otolaryngologists are known to be collegial and thoughtful physicians. Focusing on other nonstandardized testing scores may help the specialty "reboot" and refocus on recruiting the best people, not just applicants with a high Step 1 score and Alpha Omega Alpha (AOA) status.
