Trends in parallel application to emergency medicine residency between 2009 and 2023
The trend of parallel applying among EM residency applicants slowly decreased from 2009 to 2021 and then increased through 2023, with the trend largely driven by an increase in the proportion of IMG applicants who were parallel applying. Understanding the motivations and impacts of parallel applications is crucial for developing strategies to support applicants and improve the matching process. Further research is needed to explore the factors influencing these trends and to inform policy and advising practices in medical education.
