A national random sample of 25 percent of the graduate education program directors in internal medicine, family medicine, surgery, and pediatrics was sent a questionnaire; subjects were asked to judge the importance of 31 variables in the selection of house staff. A rank-ordering of variables for all respondents placed interpersonal skills demonstrated in the interview as number one. When rank order correlations were calculated for all possible pairs of program specializations, strong positive relationships were revealed. A two-way analysis of covariance was also undertaken to assess how selected program characteristics, such as size of program, type of program, and affiliation or nonaffiliation with a medical school, affected the judgment of the importance of the variables. The results have implications for further studies in several areas.
对内科、家庭医学、外科和儿科领域25%的研究生教育项目主任进行了全国随机抽样，并向他们发送了一份问卷；要求受访者评判31个变量在住院医师选拔中的重要性。所有受访者对这些变量的排序中，面试中展现的人际交往能力位列第一。当计算所有可能的项目专业组合之间的等级相关系数时，发现了很强的正相关关系。还进行了双向协方差分析，以评估所选项目特征，如项目规模、项目类型以及与医学院的附属关系或非附属关系，如何影响对变量重要性的判断。研究结果对多个领域的进一步研究具有启示意义。
