Where the internal medicine season stands
54% of internal medicine programs have sent at least one invite. The biggest day for first invites so far was Tuesday, Oct 6, when 39 programs sent their first. 39% of the programs that have sent have done so on more than one day.
Which internal medicine programs have sent interview invites
Every internal medicine program with a reported invite this season, by the day of its first invites. A program not listed may still have sent invites nobody has reported yet.
Most internal medicine invites go to applicants who signaled the program
This season, 72% of reported internal medicine invites with a known signal status went to applicants who had signaled that program (95% interval 68% to 77%). For comparison, 26% of this season’s internal medicine applications carried a signal. In last cycle’s applicant outcome records, covering the whole season, the share was 75%.
Those records also show how much more often signaled applications drew an offer: 67% of signaled internal medicine applications led to an interview offer, against 22% of unsignaled ones. That is association, not cause: applicants tend to signal programs where they are already competitive, and the records lean toward US MD and DO applicants who matched.
Gold vs silver: so far, each gold signal has drawn 1.2 times as many invites as each silver signal (95% interval 0.9 to 1.5), a difference too small to tell from none.
