Introduction:
The structure of the interview day affects applicant interactions with faculty and residents, which can influence the applicant's rank list decision. We aimed to determine if there was a difference in matched residents between those interviewing on a day on which didactics were held and had increased resident and faculty presence (didactic day) versus an interview day with less availability for applicant interactions with residents and faculty (non-didactic day).
Methods:
This was a retrospective study reviewing interview dates of matched residents from 2009-2015.
Results:
Forty-two (61.8%) matched residents interviewed on a didactic day with increased faculty and resident presence versus 26 (38.2%) on a non-didactic interview day with less availability for applicant interactions (p = 0.04).
Conclusion:
There is an association between interviewing on a didactic day with increased faculty and resident presence and matching in our program.
