Physicians with disabilities are underrepresented in medical training and face barriers in the training environment.1 A prior study2 found statistically significant inequities in graduate medical education (GME) match rates for other underrepresented groups, such as racial and ethnic minority and low-income applicants. Failure to match into a residency program carries considerable consequences for applicants’ medical careers. Despite commitments by medical associations to increase support for learners with disability in GME, placement rates for US applicants with disability remain unknown. In this cohort study, we assessed match rates by applicant disability status.
