Summary
Optimizing graduate medical education (GME) interviews is crucial. The multiple mini interview (MMI) shows promise for improving trainee selection reliability and validity, despite requiring more time.
Area of Science:
- Medical Education Research
- Graduate Medical Education (GME)
Background:
- Selection interviews are standard in US GME admissions but suffer from low reliability, high costs, and bias.
- A review of evidence for optimizing GME trainee interview practices is needed.
Approach:
- Systematic literature search of 4 databases (inception–September 2022) and backward reference searching.
- Included studies evaluated different interview methods; excluded reviews and non-GME studies.
- Study quality assessed using the Medical Education Research Study Quality Instrument (MERSQI).
Key Points:
- Evidence quality for GME interview practices is moderately low.
- Applicants prefer shorter one-on-one interviews and social events with trainees.
- Multiple mini interviews (MMI) demonstrate validity and are preferred by applicants and interviewers, despite increased time commitment.
Conclusions:
- The MMI, interviewer training, and providing program information pre-interview are recommended for GME selection.
- These strategies may enhance the reliability, validity, and fairness of GME admissions interviews.

01:31Confirmation Biases
5.5K
The confirmation bias is the tendency to focus on information that confirms our existing beliefs and ignore information that is inconsistent with our expectations. For example, if you think that your professor is not very nice, you notice all of the instances of rude behavior exhibited by the professor while ignoring the countless pleasant interactions he is involved in on a daily basis. Have you ever fallen prey to the confirmation bias, either as the source or target of such bias?

The nursing history captures and records the patient's health status, so that a care plan evolves to meet the patient's individual needs. The nursing health history is a part of the initial assessment. A comprehensive history covers all health dimensions and plays a significant role in the assessment process. A comprehensive history includes the patient's biographical information, reasons for seeking health care, expectations, present and past health history, medications, and...

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.

Ideally, the people who observe and record the children’s behavior are unaware of who was assigned to the experimental or control group, in order to control for experimenter bias. Experimenter bias refers to the possibility that a researcher’s expectations might skew the results of the study. Remember, conducting an experiment requires a lot of planning, and the people involved in the research project have a vested interest in supporting their hypotheses. If the observers knew which...

01:29Assessment of the Gastrointestinal System II: Health Perception Pattern
99
Assessing the gastrointestinal (GI) system is a complex process that begins with collecting subjective data. This data, collected through patient interviews, provides crucial insights into the patient's health history, perception patterns, and lifestyle habits, all contributing significantly to GI health.
Health Perception Patterns
Health perception patterns offer valuable insights into a patient's lifestyle habits and how they may impact their GI health. These patterns include:

01:23Methods of Documentation V: CBE
894
Charting by Exception, or CBE, is a method of documentation used in healthcare, particularly in nursing, that focuses on documenting only significant or abnormal findings rather than recording every detail. This approach aims to streamline the documentation process, improve efficiency, and ensure that healthcare providers can quickly identify deviations from normalcy in patient assessments.
In CBE, healthcare professionals establish predefined standards of practice that define what constitutes...
