Description
Angela Renne, Maria Armache, Francis Deng, and Jenny Chen analysed cross-applying among residency applicants in ear, nose, and throat surgery in a 2025 paper. Residency choice is competitive, and many applicants apply to more than one specialty. Who cross-applies, and why, was unclear.
Applications from 2020 to 2023, over twenty-four hundred in total, were reviewed. About half of applicants also applied elsewhere, most often to general surgery or internal medicine. Cross-appliers formed most of the international graduates, osteopathic applicants, and those aged thirty or older. They had fewer research experiences and publications. Reapplicants and graduates of international or osteopathic schools were far more likely to cross-apply.
