Abstract:
Upon completion of the medical studies, and before getting the diploma, doctors in Israel are required to do an internship in a hospital. For most students, the assignment is determined by a lottery, which takes into consideration the preferences of these students. We propose a novel way to perform this lottery, in which (on average) a larger number of students gets one of their top choices. We report about implementing this method in the 2014 Internship Lottery in Israel.
