    AbstractThis article reviews the pertinent literature related to the selection process of medical students to emergency medicine residency programs. The impact that academic performance in medical school, the interview, letters of recommendation, and other achievements have on the performance of the future resident are reviewed. All articles identified by an English language MEDLINE search were reviewed by the authors as to significance to the subject. Review of relevant literature indicates that no precise correlation can be made between performance in medical school and achievements during the residency, although there seems to be a correlation between academic performance in medical school and similar performance on board certification examinations.
