مستخلص: | Introduction: The 2022 to 2023 orthopaedic residency cycle implemented a preference signaling program (PSP), allowing applicants to send "signals" to up to 30 programs to demonstrate their genuine interest. With the conclusion of the 2022 to 2023 cycle, the primary purpose of this study was to analyze program director (PD) perceptions of the PSP after the match cycle and provide a retrospective evaluation of the effects of the PSP on the orthopaedic resident selection process. Methods: A 21-question survey was distributed to 98 PDs (32.7% response rate). Contact information was obtained from a national database. Results: Most respondents (96.9%) participated in the American Orthopaedic Association's PSP. The majority (93.7%) view preference signaling as a positive change. Most PDs (56.2%) reported a decreased number in applications received compared with previous years. Receiving a preference signal was ranked among the most important factors in resident selection, and most PDs agreed that preference signaling should be used to screen applicants (84.4%) and differentiate similar applicants (96.8%). Moreover, 65.6% of PDs indicated that they would not rank or invite applicants to interview without a signal or completion of a formal away rotation. PDs report that in the 2022 to 2023 cycle, 98.5% of applicants who matched at their program had sent a preference signal. Discussion: Preference signaling was one of the most important factors assessed during its inaugural application cycle and is anticipated to remain a key tool for screening and differentiating candidates. Applicants should strategically select signal recipients to enhance their success in the match. (Copyright © 2023 by the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons.) |
