  2. Background • Emotional intelligence (EI) has been used in many fields to predict success. • Some studies suggested the relationship between EI and patient satisfaction1, empathy2 and communication skills3.

  3. Objective • Evaluate the effect of emotional intelligence of fourth year medical students on residency selection.

  4. Methods • Online survey using Schutte Emotional Intelligence Scale (SEIS) was sent to fourth year medical students. • Students asked to indicate the age, gender, USMLE 1 score, USMLE 2 CK score and their residency selection.

  5. MethodsCont. • Emotional Quotient (EQ) was calculated based on their responses to the 33 questions of SEIS (scores ranges between 33 and 165). • EQ was compared between groups using multivariate regression analysis, with p value <0.05 considered as statistically significant.

  6. Results • 29 students completed the survey; 62.1% males and 37.9% females.

  7. EQ by Gender

  8. EQ by Age

  9. EQ by USMLE 1 Score

  10. EQ by USMLE 2 CK Score

  11. EQ by Specialty * 1 Anasthesia, 1 Neurosurgery

  12. Conclusion • Emotional intelligence is an interesting new concept in medical education. • More studies are needed to explore its effect on medical students' specialty selection.
