An objective structured interview is an integral part of the process of selecting and admitting applicants to study medicine at this university. During the nine years (to the end of 1986) that the interview has been used 1600 candidates were interviewed out of roughly 13,000 applicants, and from these, 584 students were admitted to the course. Analysis of the interview data was carried out based on two aspects of student progress: graduation with honours and failure to complete the course of study. The interview as a whole, and especially some of the subscales, appears to identify students who may fail to complete the course: it may also help to predict which students are likely to graduate with honours.
客观结构化面试是这所大学选拔和录取医学专业申请者过程中不可或缺的一部分。在使用该面试的九年时间里(截至1986年底),从大约13000名申请者中面试了1600名候选人,其中584名学生被该课程录取。基于学生学业进展的两个方面对面试数据进行了分析:以优异成绩毕业和未能完成学业。总体而言,面试,尤其是其中一些分量表,似乎能够识别出可能无法完成课程的学生:它或许还有助于预测哪些学生可能以优异成绩毕业。
