Abstract

Study Objective

To assess reliability and reproducibility of a recently instituted anesthesiology resident applicant interview scoring system at our own institution.

Design

Retrospective evaluation of 2 years of interview data with a newly implemented scoring system using randomly assigned interviewing faculty.

Setting

Interview scoring evaluations were completed as standard practice in a large academic anesthesiology department.

Subjects

All anesthesiology resident applicants interviewed over the 2013/14 and 2014/15 seasons by a stable cohort of faculty interviewers. Data collection blinded for both interviewers and interviewees.

Interventions

None for purposes of study – collation of blinded data already used as standard practice during interview process and analysis.

Measurements

None specific to study.

Main Results

Good inter-rater faculty reliability of interview scoring (day-of) and excellent inter-faculty reliability of application review (pre-interview).

Conclusions

Development of a department-specific interview scoring system including many elements beyond traditional standardized tests shows good-excellent reliability of faculty scoring of both the interview itself (including non-technical skills) and the application resume.
