Does Medical School Geography and Ranking Influence Residency Match in Otolaryngology?

CONCLUSION: There exist significant associations between otolaryngology residents' medical school location, ranking, size, and funding source and their residency destination. More than half of the current otolaryngology residents attended medical school in the same geographic region, and about one-fifth have attended medical school and residency at the same institution. Future studies are warranted to evaluate how these results change as the match process evolves in the future.LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: N/A.PMID:34157902 | DOI:10.1177/00034894211026482
