In Regard to Jang et al

To the Editor: We read with great interest the recent article by Jang et al reporting their findings that more than half of radiation oncology residency applicants completed an elective rotation at the institution at which they later matched (1). They report that applicants completed a median of 3 rotations, including 1 at their home institution. The authors state that the data suggest that performing multiple elective rotations helped some applicants secure their residency positions. They balance the benefit of allowing students to familiarize themselves with the program against the drawback of losing time for other medical experiences.
