title: Web-based residency training program reviews influence applicants who use them.
abstract: Scutwork.com is an online, peer-based residency review system. We report preliminary results of an online survey designed to investigate the impact of Scutwork on the residency application process. Overall, 68% of respondents believe that the reviews influenced their decision-making and 91% would use Scutwork again. These results and others reported below suggest that Scutwork may play a significant role in the residency selection process.
