- A record number of soon-to-be-doctors-in-training matched into residencies for 2023, according to a release from the National Resident Matching Program.
- Some 40,375 residents matched into programs, an increase of 1,170 over last year, according to the release. Over the past five years, residency matches have risen almost 15%.
- Specialties like orthopedic surgery, plastic surgery, radiology, diagnostic and thoracic surgery filled all available positions. Resident interest in emergency medicine has waned, however, with 554 positions unfilled in the 2023 match.
Thanks!
