Interview assignment is an issue of importance to all health care administration programs containing internships and residencies. More generally, many master's and doctoral level educational programs in social work, clinical psychology, and other health fields are faced with the interview assignment problem. We present a linear programming approach, which has been employed at the Baruch College/Mt. Sinai School of Medicine Graduate Program in Health Care Administration, for determining optimal internship/residency-interview assignments. Specifically, a capacitated transportation model, with the objective of maximizing the overall utility of the interview assignments, was implemented. This research is intended to demonstrate to academic program directors dealing with such problems the value of this objective method and to assist educators in their efforts to optimize the student internship/residency placement process at their various institutions.
面试安排对于所有包含实习和住院医师培训的医疗管理项目来说都是一个重要问题。更普遍地说，社会工作、临床心理学及其他健康领域的许多硕士和博士层次教育项目都面临面试安排问题。我们提出一种线性规划方法，该方法已在巴鲁克学院/西奈山医学院医疗管理研究生项目中用于确定最优实习/住院医师面试安排。具体而言，实施了一个有容量限制的运输模型，目标是使面试安排的整体效用最大化。本研究旨在向处理此类问题的学术项目主任展示这种客观方法的价值，并协助教育工作者努力优化其各机构的学生实习/住院医师安置过程。
