Abstract
The National Resident Matching Program, also known as The Match,ital uses a Nobel Prize-winning algorithm to determine the residency placement for fourth-year medical students. Dermatology remains one of the most competitive specialties within The Match ital. A process of preference signaling was implemented to allow applicants to express interest in individual residency programs at the time of application. The impact, significance, and best use of these signals remain unclear. This study aimed to elucidate the utilization and perceived impact of the signaling schema as it pertains to the 2023-2024 Match in Dermatology. The survey results provide valuable insights into the influence and impressions of signaling from the perspective of dermatology residency program leadership. The results may inform the advising of future applicants and evolution of the signaling schema of The Match italprocess.
