Specialty Entrance Rates

*Outside of Emergency Medicine training programs, the most common specialties where Emergency Medicine applicants entered training were Internal Medicine, Family Medicine, and General Surgery. The most common specialties are only reported where 10 or more applicants entered training
**Applicants who received a passing score on a subsequent attempt are reflected — with that subsequent score — in the terciles above.
Note: If the number of applicants was less than 10, the number and percentage are replaced with a double dash (–). N = number of applicants; % = percentage of tercile total, where the tercile represents a range of Step 1 scores within that specialty [or percentage of those who failed Step 1 on their first attempt]. Percentages may not add up to 100% due to rounding.

Understanding the table

The table shows the total number of applicants who applied and entered training in Emergency Medicine and the percentage of applicants who entered in Emergency Medicine by Step 1 score ranges. The table also shows the number and percentage of applicants who entered training in another specialty, as well as the number and percentage of applicants with no record of entering training. Entrance rate data come from the GME Track Residency Survey, which typically receives a response rate of about 94% (e.g., 94.4% in 2018). Please note that specialty entrance rate refers to the number of applicants who ultimately entered training in this specialty, not the match or acceptance rate.

In general, the proportion of applicants who entered Emergency Medicine training increased as Step 1 scores increased, and the entrance rates for applicants who failed Step 1 on their first attempt were lower than entrance rates for applicants who passed Step 1 on their first attempt.
