The process of securing a residency position following medical school has become increasingly arduous and complicated. The mean number of applications per applicant for US and Canadian medical school graduates has increased across all specialties in the last decade, with several specialties seeing a doubling in number of applications. For instance, from 2011 to 2019, applications per applicant increased from 15.2 to 34.8 for family medicine, from 30.5 to 61.3 for obstetrics and gynecology, and from 21.6 to 51.9 for psychiatry.1 Similarly, the number of applications received by each program also has increased across all specialties, some by more than 200%. For example, from 2011 to 2019, the mean number of applications received by family medicine programs increased from 76 to 251 and received by psychiatry programs increased from 115 to 446.1
