Today’s inane image of the day:
For the 2022 Match, the ERAS application included a “supplemental” portion that introduced something called preference signaling. 3 specialties participated in this pilot [though ENT started this starting with the 2021 Match cycle] and this year, this program is expanding to additional specialties [16 total]… including anesthesia.
I spent a lot of time researching this topic for the video since it was interesting to me. In the video, I outline:
▸ introduction to the ERAS supplemental application
▸ the different sections & importance [experiences, geographic preferences, preference signaling]
▸ data from the 2022 Match [especially the rich information on whether program directors actually used the supplemental application in making interview decisions]
▸ my opinion on what this all means for applicants including a strategy for how to use preference signals
