In Regard to Sura et al

In keeping with the current focus on ethics in radiation oncology in the International Journal of Radiation Oncology, Biology, Physics, the recent survey-based study by Sura et al examining the incidence of illegal match questions posed to medical student radiation oncology applicants revealed that despite a significant reduction in illegal questions asked since 2013, more than two-thirds of candidates are still asked at least one illegal question during interviews (1-3). Although the nature of illegal questions regarding personal situations (eg, family intentions, relationship status) encouragingly has decreased, it remains disheartening that most programs continue to violate a commitment to the National Resident Matching Program (NRMP) that they entered in contract agreement regarding the issue of respecting an applicant's right to privacy and confidentiality (3).
