The Impact of a New Anesthesiology Residency Program on the Number of Medical Students Matching Into Anesthesiology at a Single Institution: A Retrospective Longitudinal Study.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Introduction There are projected workforce shortages within anesthesiology exacerbated by an increase in demand for anesthesia services and an aging anesthesia workforce. Given this mismatch, it is critical for the specialty to recruit the next generation of anesthesiologists and understand the factors affecting medical students' decision to apply to anesthesiology. This study aims to evaluate the impact of establishing a new anesthesiology residency program at a single institution on the number of medical students that match into anesthesiology in the subsequent years. Methods A single-center, retrospective longitudinal study examined the number of medical students matching into anesthesiology at a single institution between 2013 and 2023, five years before and after the establishment of an accredited anesthesiology residency program. The data were compared to aggregated data on all US medical student applicants through the National Resident Matching Program. Results The pre-anesthesiology residency match rate (2013-2018) of medical students from Alpert Medical School (AMS) was 2.47% while the post-anesthesiology residency match rate (2019-2023) was 4.30%. This represents a 74% increase in the average proportion of medical students matching into anesthesiology after the start of the residency program compared to a 20% increase nationally over the same time period. The rate of change of AMS matched applicants after the implementation of the AMS anesthesia residency program increased compared to the national applicant pool (p= 0.002). Conclusion The establishment of a new accredited anesthesiology residency program increased the proportion of medical students matching into anesthesiology at the affiliated medical school in the subsequent five years. Exposure to an academic anesthesiology program improves medical student interest and ultimately matches rates in anesthesiology, a vital tool to address the projected shortages in the anesthesiology workforce.
