A program-level analysis demonstrates the link between research experience and matching odds in anesthesiology residency applicants.

This analysis aims to characterize the research experiences of anesthesiology residency applicants and their association with matching success.
Retrospective analysis of applications from US-MD and US-DO applicants at a single anesthesiology residency program.
Assessment of the association between any research experience and odds of being ranked-to-match.
Analysis of specific types of research experience and their relation to matching outcomes.
Applicants with at least one research experience had a higher likelihood of being ranked-to-match (OR: 2.16).
Applicants with peer-reviewed publications had increased matching odds (OR: 2.25).
Those with anesthesiology-related research experiences were also more likely to match (OR: 1.76).
US-MD applicants reported more research experiences than US-DO applicants (P < .001).
Pass/Fail USMLE Step 1 candidates reported higher research involvement than those with scored exams (P < .001).
