Figure 1 Number of applicants on J1 visa.∗ ∗Please note that some subspecialties did not recruit through the match for the 2012 season because the recruitment cycle changed from 18 months to 12 months, so the Association of American Medical Colleges could not provide us the exact number of the nonmatch applicants for year 2012. The year 2012 is not included because the change resulted in few applications through the match in this year, although the change in application had no effect on the number of fellowship enrollments.
