Doximity Residency Navigator 2018 – 2019
Doximity’s 2018-2019 residency program navigator is released! Here is a list of the top 10 programs for each specialty based off a methodology taking into account multiple factors, as noted below under Methodology. You can filter the rankings to search by reputation, research output, size of program, percent subspecialized, and percent board certified. I have compiled the top 10 of each based on reputation and then by research output. You can compare this year’s findings to last year’s rankings, and see if there was much change.
Adapted from what I wrote last year: the reputation rankings are compiled from survey responses from physicians in that field, including both alumni and non-alumni of various programs. The methodology explains that, “To account for “self-votes”, raw votes were divided into alumni-votes and non-alumni votes. Alumni votes were weighted according to the % of the eligible physician population that a particular program accounts for within that specialty (number of alumni divided by total eligible within the specialty).” I personally am not entirely sure how that math works but it sounds like alumni votes for their home program were counted less than non-alum votes for that program.
