The Participant-Reported Implementation Update and Score (PRIUS): A Novel Method for Capturing Implementation-Related Data Over Time

Published on: February 19, 2021

Area of Science:

  • Medical Education
  • Graduate Medical Education

Background:

  • The traditional start for Emergency Medicine (EM) residency interviews aligns with the Medical Student Performance Evaluations (MSPEs) release on November 1.
  • A recent shift suggests that early interview invitations may be prevalent.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the prevalence of early interview invitations in Emergency Medicine (EM) residency applications.
  • To determine if a significant number of applicants receive interview offers before November 1.

Main Methods:

  • An anonymous survey was administered to Emergency Medicine (EM) residency interviewees.
  • Survey questions focused on receiving interview invitations prior to November 1 and the programs extending these offers.

Main Results:

  • Out of 73 respondents, 77% reported receiving interview invitations before November 1.
  • Approximately 44% of Emergency Medicine (EM) residency programs (at least 59 out of 135) extend early interview invitations.

Conclusions:

  • The majority of surveyed Emergency Medicine (EM) residency applicants received interview invitations before the established November 1 date.
  • The widespread practice of early invitations necessitates consideration for both medical student advisors and residency programs.
