Abstract
On a yearly basis, urology residency program directors review hundreds of applications and interview dozens of applicants with the goal of selecting those applicants who will develop into excellent residents and urologists. This study identifies applicant features that predicted excellent residency performance at Mayo Clinic, including no negative interview comments, graduating from a lower ranked medical school, and obtaining honors in all core clerkships. Needless to say, each urology residency program may judge residency performance differently. Therefore, as further research is conducted, it will be interesting to see if the applicant features identified by this study can also predict performance at other residency programs. If not, individual residency programs may wish to conduct their own investigations as to which application features predict performance at their specific institutions to help guide their decision-making during the match.
