This study investigates interview offer distribution among applicants of varying levels of competitiveness in a residency application cycle with and without preference signaling.
Self-reported applicant survey data evaluating the 2021-2022 Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery residency signal experience was used to investigate the current distribution of interview offers among applicants. These data then informed a model to assess the distribution of interview offers without signaling in place.
260 (47% response rate) Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery residency applicants who responded to the survey.
Applicants were divided into four quartiles based on their overall interview offer rate (self-reported number of interviews/self-reported number of applications submitted). Applicants in the top quartile received fewer interview offers while applicants in all other quartiles received more interview offers when signaling was introduced.
Our data demonstrate that when signaling is introduced, interviews are more evenly distributed among applicants.
本研究调查了在有无偏好信号的住院医师申请周期中，不同竞争力水平的申请人获得面试邀请的分布情况。
使用评估2021 - 2022年耳鼻喉科 - 头颈外科住院医师信号经历的申请人自我报告调查数据，来研究面试邀请在申请人中的当前分布情况。这些数据随后为一个模型提供信息，以评估无信号情况下面试邀请的分布。
260名（回复率47%）回复该调查的耳鼻喉科 - 头颈外科住院医师申请人。
根据申请人的总体面试邀请率（自我报告的面试次数/自我报告提交的申请次数）将申请人分为四个四分位数。引入信号时，处于最高四分位数的申请人获得的面试邀请较少，而所有其他四分位数的申请人获得的面试邀请较多。
我们的数据表明，引入信号时，面试在申请人中分布得更均匀。
