Abstract
Purpose: This manuscript summarizes the introduction, evolution and current outcomes for preference signaling in Urology as well as its use in other medical specialties. Overapplication plagues the residency recruitment process and PS has emerged as a process to improve the bottleneck of the interview selection process.
Recent findings: PS has been shown to be associated with a higher likelihood of interview among many subspecialties. Applicants and programs report satisfaction with the process. Further solutions are needed to increase transparency of program information and selection criteria to applicants so that critical decisions on which programs an applicant should apply to can be data driven.
期刊介绍:
This journal intends to review the most important, recently published findings in the field of urology. By providing clear, insightful, balanced contributions by international experts, the journal elucidates current and emerging approaches to the care and prevention of urologic diseases and conditions.
We accomplish this aim by appointing international authorities to serve as Section Editors in key subject areas, such as benign prostatic hyperplasia, erectile dysfunction, female urology, and kidney disease. Section Editors, in turn, select topics for which leading experts contribute comprehensive review articles that emphasize new developments and recently published papers of major importance, highlighted by annotated reference lists. An international Editorial Board reviews the annual table of contents, suggests articles of special interest to their country/region, and ensures that topics are current and include emerging research. Commentaries from well-known figures in the field are also provided.
