Global assessment by an intern selection committee (ISC) effectively predicts resident performance. This study found ISC ratings correlated significantly with both clinical and cognitive outcomes in pediatric residents.

Area of Science:

  • Medical Education Research
  • Pediatric Residency Training
  • Predictive Assessment

Background:

  • Lack of objective criteria for predicting resident performance.
  • Need for reliable methods to assess future physician capabilities.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To test if global assessment by an intern selection committee (ISC) correlates with resident performance.
  • To establish a predictive model for resident success.

Main Methods:

  • Prospective study of 277 residents (1992-1999).
  • Compared ISC global assessment at interview with subsequent clinical and cognitive performance.
  • Clinical performance assessed by chief residents; cognitive performance by American Board of Pediatrics in-service exams.

Main Results:

  • ISC ratings showed significant correlation with clinical performance at 24 and 36 months (r=0.58-0.60, P<.001).
  • ISC ratings significantly correlated with in-service exam scores in all three years of training (r=0.35-0.50, P<.005).

Conclusions:

  • Global assessment by an intern selection committee is a valid predictor of resident performance.
  • ISC evaluations can inform selection processes for improved resident outcomes.
