The number of U.S. medical school seniors who will enter residency training in family medicine rose 9 percent over 2009, according to the National Resident Matching Program (NRMP). These individuals will be among the more than 16,000 U.S. medical school seniors who will learn today at noon where they will spend the next three to seven years of residency training in "Match Day" ceremonies across the country.
In 2009, the number of U.S. medical school seniors placed in family medicine residencies dropped by 7 percent. This year, 2,608 training slots in family medicine were offered—73 more positions than last year. U.S. seniors filled 1,169 of those positions, compared to 1,071 in 2009.
Two other primary care specialties that saw increases in positions filled by U.S. medical school seniors were internal medicine and pediatrics. Internal medicine saw a 3 percent rise over last year in the number of U.S. seniors matched to slots in this specialty. Out of the 4,999 positions available—an increase of 77 positions—2,722 U.S. seniors were matched. There was a 2 percent increase in the number of U.S. seniors placed in pediatric residencies. Out of 2,428 positions available, 1,711 U.S. seniors were matched.
U.S. medical school seniors also made gains in overall participation and match rates in 2010. This year, the group made up more than half of the applicants, increasing by 432, and 93.3 percent matched to first-year residencies, a slight increase from 2009. Since 2006, the number of U.S. senior applicants has grown by more than 1,000.
This year, 10,941 students and graduates of international medical schools (IMGs) participated in the Match, 67 more than last year. Although the number of U.S. citizen IMGs was 305 more than last year and up by more than 1,200 since 2006, the number of non-U.S. citizen IMGs declined by 238. This was the first time since 2002 that the number has been lower than the year before. The percentage of all IMGs who matched to first-year positions also declined this year. Only 47 percent of U.S. citizen IMGs and 40 percent of non-U.S. citizen IMGs matched to first-year positions.

This post shows that there has been an increase in the US Grads matching into FM (9%) followed by IM (3%) and then Pediatrics (2%).This emphasises the growing trend towards the above mentioned primary care residencies among US grads.
Detailed matching trends for these and all other specialties will most probably be available in August this year.It will only then be possible to comment about the trend in General Surgery.
Good Luck!
