PURPOSE: To describe applicant characteristics and outcomes associated with the ophthalmology fellowship match.DESIGN: Retrospective case-control study.METHODS: This study took place in San Francisco and matched data for ophthalmology fellowship applicants in the USA. The study population was registrants for the 2010-2017 ophthalmology fellowship match cycles. The match rate took place during the 8-year study period. Applicant characteristics were stratified by match status and factors associated with matching to ophthalmology fellowship positions.RESULTS: Between 2010 and 2017, most applicants (2,558/3,471; 73.7%) were matched into ophthalmology fellowship programs.

On average, ophthalmology residents who were matched into fellowships had higher step 1 (difference: 9; 99% confidence interval [CI]: 6.8-10.9; P < .001), step 2 (difference: 9.5; 99% CI: 7-12; P < .001), and step 3 (difference: 7.4; 99% CI: 5-9.7; P
