“…[4][5][6] Students typically include two or more SLOEs in their electronic residency service application (ERAS) to EM residency programs. 7 While there are many benefits of the SLOE, 1,3,9,10 it is unclear whether the SLOE can predict future performance. [11][12][13] The SLOE ranks students in various aspects of their EM clerkship performance (e.g., work ethic, team work, anticipated level of guidance needed).…”

Background: The standardized letter of evaluation (SLOE) in emergency medicine (EM) is one of the most important items in a student's application to EM residency and replaces narrative letters of recommendation. The SLOE ranks students into quantile categories in comparison to their peers for overall performance during an EM clerkship and for their expected rank list position. Gender differences exist in several assessment methods in undergraduate and graduate medical education. No authors have recently studied whether there are differences in the global assessment of men and women on the SLOE.Objectives: The objective of this study was to determine if there is an effect of student gender on the outcome of a SLOE. Methods:This was a retrospective observational study examining SLOEs from applications to a large urban, academic EM residency program from 2015 to 2016. Composite scores (CSs), comparative rank scores (CRSs), and rank list position scores (RLPSs) on the SLOE were compared for female and male applicants using Mann-Whitney U-test.Results: From a total 1,408 applications, 1,038 applicants met inclusion criteria (74%). We analyzed 2,092 SLOEs from these applications. Female applicants were found to have slightly lower and thus better CRSs, RLPSs, and CSs than men. The mean CRS for women was 2.27 and 2.45 for men (p < 0.001); RLPS for women was 2.32 and 2.52 for men (p < 0.001) and CS was 4.59 for women and 4.97 for men (p < 0.001).Conclusions: Female applicants have somewhat better performance on the EM SLOE than their male counterparts.From the

“…There were 10 papers (16%) that employed survey methodology but none met the criteria for a highlighted article . The remaining 36 papers (59%) were observational studies and accounted for 50% of the highlighted articles . It is interesting to note that each study design had representation in meeting the validated criteria to be a highlighted article, with the exception, this year, of survey methodology.…”

Need for Innovation: Current interviewing strategies and the standardized letter of evaluation may not provide enough insight into preferred resident characteristics. Emergency medicine (EM) residency programs are challenged with identifying trainees who can problem solve, communicate, and work well with fellow health professionals.Background: Structured interviews have previously been used and can help predict success but candidates have reported a negative impression with their use.Objective of Innovation: This structured virtual reality (VR) interviewing method was designed so that interviewers can observe the communication abilities, subtle personality traits, and teamwork skills of applicants interviewed at an EM residency program. Development Process:A consumer VR headset became available and in combination with an interactive team game was incorporated into a standardized team-based interview session. This session was designed to allow observation of candidates' communication, problem solving, and teamwork skills.Implementation Phase: Surveys were collected to examine the satisfaction of EM residency applicants who participated in this novel standardized interviewing method using a VR headset. After the submission of rank lists, but prior to Match Day, those who interviewed were e-mailed a voluntary, anonymous, and confidential survey asking about their interview experience, specifically about the VR portion. The survey was sent to 102 applicants with 63 responses for a 62% response rate at the completion of the 2015 to 2016 interview season.Outcomes: Overall study findings suggested that participants had a highly favorable impression of the VR portion of the interview. Specifically, participants reported that this interview technique was appropriate and worthwhile. Additionally, participants attested that the Oculus portion of the interview gave insight to their work ethic, personality, and communication skills and how they work with others.Reflective Discussion: The novel interviewing method used in this study allowed interviewers to gain insight beyond that of the paperwork and brief face-to-face interaction. Study findings suggest that interviewees accepted the use of this novel interview method. It has been incorporated into our interview process for three consecutive years.
