Abstract
Background:Orthopaedic surgery is one of the more competitive specialties for medical students to pursue. Students often complete subinternship rotations to demonstrate skill, work ethic, and fit within a program. Away rotations were suspended during the COVID-19 pandemic.Methods:This investigation compared home and regional match rates before the pandemic to the match cycle of 2020-2021.Results:There was a statistically significant increase in students matching to their home program, and insignificant increase in regional matches.Conclusions:This increase is likely due in part to the familiarity of students to programs where they could still rotate during the pandemic.Level of Evidence:Level IV.
