Denotes increase/decrease in matched applicants of more than 10 percent and 10 positions between 2009 and 2013.
Neurological Surgery joined in 2009. ACGME created a new PGY-1 Plastic Surgery (Integrated) specialty in 2009.
Combined/coordinated Plastic Surgery progams (which are not integrated) now appear under PGY-2 positions. Many
Anesthesiology and Emergency Medicine programs have converted their positions from Advanced (PGY-2) to Categorical
(PGY-1) over the period, affecting the trends in those specialties.
