3. Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation
Score: 27
PM&R is traditionally among the least sought for residencies which usually gets filled by international and other independent applicants. Average annual salary of $278,283 doesn’t look that bad for such a high spot on our list, but USMLE Step 1 and 2 scores of 220 and 234 certainly do. It’s an average of only 227 (almost 10 points below national average), and 1.79 positions per 1 US applicant don’t really go in favor of this residency as well.
