  18. Report to the Goodenough Committee, British Medical Assn. 1944 (reported in Smyth, DH. 1946. British Medical Journal 14:357-367) “The methods of (medical student) selection fail to exclude a number who, though able to pass examinations, have not the necessary aptitude, character or staying power for a medical career.” “Instead of endeavoring to differentiate among the top ranks of a pool of outstandingly qualified applicants, the selection effort might be better focused on identifying those potentially unsuitable in terms of their non-academic personal qualities” Powis, D. Selecting medical students: An unresolved challenge. 2014. Medical Teacher 37: 252-260

  19. Structured Interview Questions • What is meant by structured interview questions? • Consistent, pre-designated questions to evaluate • Behavioral consistency • Judgement in a situation • Lievens F. et al. The operational validity of a video-based situational judgment test for medical college admissions: Illustrating the importance of matching predictor and criterion construct domains. J Applied Psychology 90: 442-452 (2005) • Patterson, F. et al. Evaluations of situational judgment tests to asses non-academic attributes in selection. Medical Education 46: 850-868 (2012) • Lievens F. Adjusting medical school admissions: assessing interpersonal skills using situational judgment tests. Medical Education 47: 182-189 (2013)

  20. Why It Works Behavioral ConsistencySituational Judgment Based on the premise that past behavior is predictive of future behavior Requires the applicant to respond to situations concerning prior responsibilities, duties, accomplishments, etc. Based on the premise that intentions predict behaviors Requires the applicant to indicate what he/she would do in dealing with potential situations posed by the interviewer Lievens F, Adjusting medical school admission: assessing interpersonal skills using situational judgment tests. Medical Education 47: 182-189, (2013)
