It's time for a new list of the most competitive medical specialties and there are some big changes.

是時候來看看最新的熱門醫學專科排行榜了，這次有些大變動喔。

情態副詞

Jubbal medschoolinsiders.com Based on the brand new data from the official NRMP charting the outcomes released in August 2024, we meticulously reassessed the most and least competitive specialties.

Jubbal medschoolinsiders.com 根據 2024 年 8 月發布、由官方 NRMP charting the outcomes 的全新數據，我們仔細重新評估了最競爭和最不競爭的專科。

We considered a wide selection of data across USMLE step scores, match rate, publications, school funding, and more.

我們考量了 USMLE step scores、match rate、publications、school funding 等多項數據。

When others talk about which specialties are more or less competitive, they focus on a single metric, either because it's easier than a multivariate analysis or because of ulterior motives to color a single specialty as more or less competitive.

當別人討論哪些專科比較競爭或不競爭時，他們只關注單一指標，可能是因為這比 multivariate analysis 簡單，或是別有用心地想將某個專科塑造成比較競爭或不競爭。

For example, from step scores alone, Interventional Radiology would rank as the most competitive specialty when in actuality it barely makes the top 10.

例如，光看 step scores，Interventional Radiology 會被列為最競爭的專科，但實際上它 apenas 擠進前十名。

To overcome the shortcomings of looking at a single factor, we examined six categories of data average match rate, step one score, step two CK score, number of publications, percentage of matriculants that were AOA, and

為了克服只看單一因素的不足，我們檢視了六大數據類別：average match rate、step one score、step two CK score、number of publications、多少比例的 matriculants 是 AOA，以及

percentage of applicants from a top 40 NIH funded medical school.

來自頂尖 40 所 NIH funded medical school 的申請者比例。

Each specialty is ranked by those six categories on a point based ranking system and certain categories are weighted higher than others.

每個 specialty 都會根據這六個類別，用 point based ranking system 進行排名，有些類別的 weighted 會比較高。

Step one is weighted at 25%, step step two CK at 15%, match rate at 25%, publications at 20%, AoA at 10% and NIH at 5%.

step one 佔 25%，step two CK 佔 15%，match rate 佔 25%，publications 佔 20%，AOA 佔 10%，NIH 佔 5%。

Even though step one changed to pass fail in 2022, the students included in the 2024 data took step one when it was still scored.

雖然 step one 在 2022 年改為 pass fail，但納入 2024 年數據的學生在 step one 還是 scored 的時候就考了。

When we analyze the 2026 charting outcomes data, we'll remove step one and increase the weighting of step two scores.

當我們分析 2026 charting outcomes data 時，我們會移除 step one 並增加 step two scores 的 weighting。

Note that urology, thoracic surgery, and ophthalmology are not included in NRMP charting outcomes.

請注意，urology、thoracic surgery 和 ophthalmology 並未包含在 NRMP charting outcomes 中。

We do our best to fill in data for those specialties from other sources, but

我們會盡力從其他來源填補這些 specialty 的數據，但

it's less accurate and not as up to date.

Based on preliminary data and patterns from prior years, we're confident none of these would be in the top five.

根據初步數據和往年的模式，我們有信心這些都不會排進前五名。

So what are the most competitive medical specialties in 2024?

那麼，2024 年最競爭的 medical specialties 是什麼呢？

In the fifth spot is otorhinolaryngology or ENT, standing for ear, nose and throat, coming in at 73.3 points.

第五名是耳鼻喉科 (ENT)，得分是 73.3 分。

ENT is a surgical subspecialty focused on diseases of the head and neck region.

ENT 是一種外科次專科，專注於頭頸部區域的疾病。

Previously based on 2022 data, ENT was in second place for most competitive.

根據 2022 年的數據，ENT 曾是競爭最激烈科別的第二名。

The drop in position is in large part due to a notable match rate increase from 69.2 in 2022 to 81.9 in 2024.

名次下降很大一部分是因為 match rate 從 2022 年的 69.2% 大幅提升到 2024 年的 81.9%。

Additionally, average step one scores decreased from 250 to 243.

此外，平均 step one score 也從 250 分下降到 243 分。

The total points for ENT went down from 89.6 in 2022 to 73.3 in 2024 and this is one of the reasons so many of the rankings have shifted.

ENT 的總分數從 2022 年的 89.6 分降至 2024 年的 73.3 分，這也是許多排名變動的原因之一。

Ents are known for having a great lifestyle.

耳鼻喉科以擁有絕佳的生活方式而聞名。

You can make over $500,000 a year while having a reasonable work life balance.

你每年可以賺取超過 50 萬美元，同時擁有合理的工作生活平衡。

While not always the case, money and lifestyle can be tied to how competitive a medical specialty is.

雖然不總是如此，但金錢和生活方式可能與醫學專科的競爭激烈程度有關。

Let's see if that's true for the next most competitive specialties.

讓我們來看看下一個競爭激烈的 specialty 是否也是如此。

Orthopedic surgery ranks in the fourth spot with 79.6 total points.

骨科手術總積分排名第四，為 79.6 分。

Orthopedic surgery focuses on the musculoskeletal system, which which includes broken bones, tendons and ligaments.

骨科手術主要處理肌肉骨骼系統，包括骨折、肌腱和韌帶。

Orthopedic surgery was also in the fourth spot in 2022, so not much has changed here.

骨科手術在 2022 年也排名第四，這裡的變動不大。

While orthopedic surgeons don't have the best lifestyle due to irregular and unpredictable hours while on call, they have the third highest pay of any medical specialty at over $650,000 a year as of 2024.

雖然骨科醫師的輪班時間不規律且難以預測，生活方式不是最好的，但截至 2024 年，他們的年收入超過 65 萬美元，是所有醫學 specialty 中收入第三高的。

Data it's natural not to be totally certain of the specialty you want to pursue.

數據顯示，對於想投入的 specialty 感到不確定是很自然的。

The third most competitive specialty is plastic surgery with 83.5 points.

競爭第三激烈的 specialty 是整形外科，得分為 83.5 分。

Plastic surgery focuses on a patient's soft tissue such as fat, skin, muscle and occasionally bone to reshape or reconstruct a patient's function or appearance.

整形外科主要處理病患的軟組織，如脂肪、皮膚、肌肉，有時也包括骨骼，以重塑或重建病患的功能或外觀。

Plastic surgery jumps down from the number one spot in both 2022 and 2020 data to third in 2024.

整形外科從 2022 年和 2020 年的數據中的第一名，在 2024 年降至第三名。

The big drop for plastic surgery comes from a Lower Average Step 1 score, dropping from 251 in 2022 to 247 in 2024.

整形外科分數大幅下降的原因是平均 step one score 降低，從 2022 年的 251 分降至 2024 年的 247 分。

Additionally, the match rate changed from 62.7% in 2022 to 74.3% in this year's data.

另外，match rate 從 2022 年的 62.7% 提升到今年的 74.3%。

Plastic surgery is another specialty that saw a huge decrease in total points, going from 94.4 in 2022 to 83.5 in 2024.

整形外科是另一個總分大幅下降的 specialty，從 2022 年的 94.4 分降至 2024 年的 83.5 分。

Plastic surgery is another specialty with a huge PayCheck.

整形外科是另一個有著驚人 PayCheck 的 specialty。

It's the fourth highest paid specialty at $620,000 a year, and

它是第四高薪的 specialty，年薪達 620,000 美元，而且

the lifestyle of a plastic surgeon isn't bad either, since most surgeries are not urgent.

整形外科醫師的生活方式也不錯，因為大多數手術都不是緊急的。

Before we get to our top two, let's talk about research.

在我們討論前兩名之前，先來聊聊 research。

Because average publications across all of the top, most competitive specialties saw a huge leap and this is a trend we've seen year after year, the data show just how important research is to matching into residency.

由於所有競爭最激烈 specialty 的平均 publications 都大幅躍升，而且這是我們年復一年看到的趨勢，數據顯示 research 對於成功 match 進 residency 是多麼重要。

Publications consistently play an outsized role in a specialty's competitiveness as well as a candidate's ability to match into their desired program.

publications 在 specialty 的競爭力以及候選人成功 match 進理想 program 的能力方面，一直扮演著舉足輕重的角色。

Plastic surgery research Items increased from 28.4 to 34.7 from 2022 to 2024 alone.

光是從 2022 年到 2024 年，整形外科的 research Items 就從 28.4 增加到 34.7。

Back when I applied to plastic surgery residency in 2016, the average was just under 12.

我 2016 年申請整形外科住院醫師時，平均才不到 12 篇。

Luckily, even back then I earned over 60 publications, abstracts and presentations which helped me land a residency seat in Southern California.

幸運的是，即使在那時候，我也累積了超過 60 篇 publications、摘要和演講，這幫助我在南加州獲得了一個住院醫師的席位。

It's the tactics and methodologies I use to gain these publications that myself and my colleagues who also have over 60 research items, each distilled in the Med School Insiders Ultimate Research Course.

我自己和我那些同樣擁有超過 60 篇 research items 的同事，都將我們用來獲得這些 publications 的策略和方法，濃縮進了 Med School Insiders 的 Ultimate Research Course。

In the second spot is neurosurgery with 83.8 points just barely beating out plastic surgery.

第二名是神經外科，獲得 83.8 分，險勝整形外科。

Neurosurgery focuses on the nervous system which consists of two main components, the central nervous system and the peripheral nervous system.

神經外科專注於神經系統，它主要包含兩個部分：中樞神經系統和周邊神經系統。

You may be familiar with neurosurgery from the viral video made by Guby and Dubi after he quit being a neurosurgeon.

你可能看過 Guby 和 Dubi 在他辭去神經外科醫師後製作的爆紅影片，對神經外科有所瞭解。

Check out my thoughts and what I agree and disagree with about his video over on my personal channel.

歡迎到我的個人頻道看看我對他影片的看法，以及我同意或不同意的地方。

This year neurosurgery took a huge leap from the fifth spot to second place.

今年神經外科的排名大幅躍升，從第五名來到第二名。

However, the only notable difference to neurosurgery numbers was match rate which moved from 74.3% in 2022 to 68.7% in 2024.

不過，神經外科數字上唯一值得注意的差異是 match rate，從 2022 年的 74.3% 降至 2024 年的 68.7%。

The change in competitiveness has less to do with neurosurgery and more to do with other specialties like plastic surgery and ent.

競爭力的變化跟神經外科關係不大，反而跟整形外科和耳鼻喉科等其他 specialty 比較有關。

Moving down the rank list, neurosurgery's total points only changed from 81.3 in 2022 to 83.8 in 2024.

往下看排名，神經外科的總分數從 2022 年的 81.3 分只進步到 2024 年的 83.8 分。

And in the number one spot is dermatology with 84.8 points.

而排名第一的是皮膚科，有 84.8 分。

Dermatologists manage diseases of the skin, hair and nails in both medical and procedural aspects, and

皮膚科醫師在醫療和手術方面，都會處理皮膚、頭髮和指甲的疾病，

can identify and treat more than 3,000 conditions, including eczema, psoriasis and skin cancer.

並能診斷和治療超過 3,000 種病症，包括濕疹、乾癬和皮膚癌。

In 2018, dermatology claimed the number one spot, but was beat out by plastics in 2020 and 2022.

2018 年皮膚科曾拿下第一名，但在 2020 年和 2022 年被整形外科超越。

It now holds the most competitive title once again.

現在，它又再次奪回最具競爭力的頭銜。

Dermatology may not make the top 10 list of highest paid specialties, but

皮膚科可能不是薪水最高的 specialty 前十名，但

it's still up there, just missing the half a million mark at $494,000 a year.

它的薪資還是很高，年薪 494,000 美元，只差一點點就達到五十萬美元。

In addition to great pay, dermatology is known for having an excellent lifestyle and work life balance that isn't afforded by most other disciplines.

除了高薪之外，皮膚科也以擁有絕佳的生活方式和工作生活平衡而聞名，這點是許多其他科別無法提供的。

Within they have limited call, low acuity of medical conditions, flexible work days and control over when and how they work.

他們的 on-call 時間有限，病患的病情不嚴重，工作日彈性，而且能自主決定何時及如何工作。

Considering the number of hours worked per week and the predictability of those hours, dermatologists make quite a lot A dermatologist's hourly rate is among the highest of any medical specialty.

考量每週工時和工時的可預測性，皮膚科醫師的收入相當豐厚，每小時費率是所有醫學 specialty 中最高的。

Check out our video on the Dr. Specialties with the highest hourly rate.

So what's the conclusion to all of the 2024 changes?

那麼 2024 年的這些變動總結是什麼呢？

It's quite clear that the most competitive specialties are still highly correlated with either excellent pay, excellent lifestyle, or both.

顯而易見，最具競爭力的 specialty 仍然與優渥的薪資、極佳的生活方式，或兩者兼具高度相關。

it seems fairly clear year after year that there's more than a simple correlation going on here.

似乎很清楚，年復一年，這裡面不僅僅是簡單的相關性。

This year we also started to see close clustering of the top three specialties.

今年我們也開始看到前三大 specialty 之間的緊密聚集。

Even though plastic surgery moved from the number one spot to number three, this is the closest top three race we've seen since the NRMP started releasing charting outcomes.

即使整形外科從第一名掉到第三名，這也是自 NRMP 開始發布 charting outcomes 以來，我們見過最接近的前三大競賽。

This is largely due to plastic surgery's drop from the number one spot at 94.4 by a significant margin of 5 points in 2022 to 83.5 total points this year.

這主要歸因於整形外科在 2022 年以顯著的 5 分差距從 94.4 的第一名掉到今年的總積分 83.5。

The top three most competitive specialties, plastic surgery, neurosurgery and dermatology are all within 1.3 points of each other in 2022, 8.4 points separated the top three most competitive specialties, but

2022 年時，排名前三的熱門 specialty，整形外科、神經外科和皮膚科，彼此之間僅相差 1.3 分，而今年有 8.4 分差距，但

keep in mind that the total scores are only relative to the specific year.

請記住，總分僅是相對於特定年份而言。

This means you can say how competitive a specialty is compared to another specialty from that same year, and

這表示你可以說某個 specialty 與同年份的其他 specialty 相比有多熱門，以及

how the rankings changed year to year, but

not how more or less competitive it is compared to itself from the previous year.

無法說明它與前一年相比，熱門程度是更高或更低。

It's normal for the rankings to move up and down from year to year, and

排名逐年上下變動是很正常的，而且

there are many factors that go into these changes.

One of those key factors is supply and demand.

The demand part is how many students are interested in the specialty.

需求部分是指有多少學生對該 specialty 感興趣。
