abstract: 'BACKGROUND: Based upon student ratings of such factors as predictable
work hours and personal time, medical specialties have been identified
as lifestyle friendly, intermediate, or unfriendly. Lifestyle friendly
programs may be more desirable, more competitive, and for students
elected to the Alpha Omega Alpha (AOA) Honor Medical Society, more
attainable.
OBJECTIVE: The objective of this study was to evaluate whether AOA
students increasingly entered lifestyle friendly residency programs and
whether trends in program selection differed between AOA and non-AOA
graduates.
DESIGN: This retrospective cohort study examined PGY-2 data from the
Association of American Medical Colleges and the 12 allopathic schools
in the Associated Medical Schools of New York.
PARTICIPANTS: Data on 1987-2006 graduates from participating schools
were evaluated.
MAIN MEASURES: Residency program selection over the 20-year period
served as the main outcome measure.
KEY RESULTS: AOA graduates increasingly entered lifestyle-friendly
residencies-from 12.9\% in 1987 to 32.6\% in 2006 (p < 0.01). There was
also a significant decrease in AOA graduates entering lifestyle
unfriendly residencies, from 31.6\% in 1987 to 12.6\% in 2006 (p <
0.01). Selection of lifestyle intermediate residencies among AOA
graduates remained fairly stable at an average of 53\%. Similar trends
were found among non-AOA students. However, within these categories, AOA
graduates increasingly selected radiology, dermatology, plastic surgery
and orthopedics while non-AOA graduates increasingly selected
anesthesiology and neurology.
CONCLUSIONS: While lifestyle factors appear to influence residency
program selection, AOA graduates differentially were more likely to
either choose or attain certain competitive, lifestyle-friendly
specialties. Health care reform should be targeted to improve lifestyle
and decrease income disparities for specialties needed to meet health
manpower needs.'
