Abstract
: To evaluate qualifications of successful applicants to Female Pelvic Medicine and Reconstructive Surgery (FPMRS) fellowship programs. : A 55-point web-based survey was sent to 49 applicants participating in the 2008 FPMRS Match. : The survey achieved a 59% response rate, with a total of 29 respondents. Regarding prematch educational preparations pursued by applicants, 11 of the 24 matched respondents (46%) trained at residencies that offered FPMRS fellowship training. About 19 matched applicants (19/21, 90%) and 2 unmatched applicants (2/5, 40%) received a letter of recommendation from a "nationally-known" female pelvic medicine surgeon. About 40% of matched and unmatched applicants authored at least one manuscript. : If these respondents are representative of all fellowship candidates in FPMRS match, then it would be expected that combined application costs for all candidates would be almost $350,000.
