Program directors from residency programs have been challenged with reviewing applications and selecting residents with seemingly diminishing information about the student. The national dental board is pass/fail and multiple schools are no longer ranking students or are utilizing pass/fail systems. Finding methods of assessing students and their ability to succeed in residency programs is becoming more difficult. The interview process is becoming more crucial to the selection process, but it is still a fallible process. This workshop will facilitate discussion between residency programs concerning techniques utilized during their application review and interview process during resident selection.
Learning Objectives:
- Identify various methods of assessing candidates during the application review.
- Explore unique methods of evaluating candidates during the interview process that can provide predictors of success.
- Determine which evaluation methods would predict success in their residency program.
