Most Competitive Doctor Specialties [2024 Update]

It’s time for a new list of the most competitive medical specialties, and there are some big changes! Based on brand new data from the official NRMP Charting Outcomes released in August 2024, we meticulously reassessed the most and least competitive specialties.

To overcome the shortcomings of looking at a single factor, we examine six categories of data: average match rate, Step 1 score, Step 2 CK score, number of publications, percentage of matriculants that were AOA, and percentage of applicants from a top 40 NIH-funded medical school. Each specialty is ranked by those six categories on a point-based ranking system, and certain categories are weighted higher than others. Step 1 is weighted at 25%, Step 2 CK at 15%, match rate at 25%, publications at 20%, AOA at 10%, and NIH at 5%.
