Re: Predictors of Excellent Urology Residents at the Time of the Urology Match We read the article by Thompson and colleagues1 with great interest given the competitive nature of urology residency and desire of all programs to match high quality candidates who will achieve success as residents and, later, independent physicians. The timing is quite apropos with resident interviews currently in full swing. The manuscript utilized a logistic regression model trained to predict resident excellence, as based on scoring from the current and prior program directors. Based on their multivariable model, no negative interview comments and honors in all core clinical clerkships were independently associated with an excellent score Surprisingly, doing an away rotation and being ranked in the top 5 on the match list were not predictive of excellence.
