Surveys

Surveys

Often, psychologists develop surveys as a means of gathering data. Surveys are lists of questions to be answered by research participants, and can be delivered as paper-and-pencil questionnaires, administered electronically, or conducted verbally. Generally, the survey itself can be completed in a short time, and the ease of administering a survey makes it easy to collect data from a large number of people.

Area of Science:

Orthopaedic Surgery
Medical Education
Residency Selection

Background:

Increasing competitiveness in orthopaedic surgery residency programs necessitates understanding candidate selection factors.
Program Director (PD) characteristics may influence their evaluation of residency applicants.

Purpose of the Study:

To investigate how program and Program Director (PD) characteristics impact the selection of orthopaedic surgery residents.
To identify the criteria most valued by PDs and how these preferences correlate with PD demographics.

Main Methods:

A novel 19-question survey was distributed to Program Directors (PDs) in orthopaedic surgery.
The survey assessed PDs' opinions and practices regarding resident selection criteria.
A 31% response rate (63/203) was achieved, providing data on PD preferences and screening practices.

Main Results:

Top selection criteria included orthopaedic rotation performance, United States Medical Licensing Examination (USMLE) scores, and clerkship honors.
USMLE scores were frequently used for screening (70% for interviews, 43% for rotations).
PD demographics (age, years in practice) correlated with differing emphasis on criteria like USMLE scores, academic honors, conscientiousness, and dexterity.

Conclusions:

Program Director demographics, including age and length of practice, significantly influence orthopaedic surgery resident selection criteria.
Differing interpretations of USMLE scores exist based on PD experience, affecting their perceived value in predicting resident success.
Understanding these demographic influences can refine resident selection processes in competitive orthopaedic surgery programs.
