To evaluate how emergency medicine residency programs perceived and used Association of American Medical Colleges (AAMC) Standardized Video Interview (SVI) total scores and videos during the Electronic Residency Application Service 2018 cycle.
Study 1 (November 2017) used a program director survey to evaluate user reactions to the SVI following the first year of operational use. Study 2 (January 2018) analyzed program usage of SVI video responses using data collected through the AAMC Program Director's Workstation.
Results from the survey (125/175 programs; 71% response rate) and video usage analysis suggested programs viewed videos out of curiosity and to understand the range of SVI total scores. Programs were more likely to view videos for attendees of U.S. MD-granting medical schools and applicants with higher United States Medical Licensing Examination Step 1 scores, but there were no differences by gender or race/ethnicity. More than half of programs that did not use SVI total scores in their selection processes were unsure of how to incorporate them (36/58; 62%) and wanted additional research on utility (33/58; 57%). More than half of programs indicated being at least somewhat likely to use SVI total scores (55/97; 57%) and videos (52/99; 53%) in the future.
Program reactions on the utility and ease of use of SVI total scores were mixed. Survey results indicate programs used the SVI cautiously in their selection processes, consistent with AAMC recommendations. Future user surveys will help the AAMC gauge improvements in user acceptance and familiarity with the SVI.
评估急诊住院医师培训计划在 2018 年电子住院医师申请服务(Electronic Residency Application Service,ERAS)周期中如何看待和使用美国医学协会(Association of American Medical Colleges,AAMC)标准化视频面试(Standardized Video Interview,SVI)总分和视频。
研究 1(2017 年 11 月)使用主任调查评估了 SVI 在首次运行后的用户反应。研究 2(2018 年 1 月)使用 AAMC 主任工作站收集的数据分析了 SVI 视频回复的使用情况。
调查(175 个计划中的 125 个;71%的回复率)和视频使用分析的结果表明,各计划出于好奇和理解 SVI 总分的范围观看视频。各计划更有可能观看美国医学博士授予医学院学生和美国医师执照考试第 1 步成绩较高的申请人的视频,但性别或种族/民族之间没有差异。在没有将 SVI 总分纳入其选择过程的计划中,超过一半的计划不确定如何整合这些分数(36/58;62%),并希望进一步研究其效用(33/58;57%)。超过一半的计划表示,未来至少有一定可能使用 SVI 总分(55/97;57%)和视频(52/99;53%)。
计划对 SVI 总分的效用和易用性的反应不一。调查结果表明,各计划在其选择过程中谨慎使用 SVI,这与 AAMC 的建议一致。未来的用户调查将帮助 AAMC 评估用户对 SVI 的接受度和熟悉程度的提高。
