Recruitment is one the biggest tasks that program leadership undertakes each year. With large pools of applicants in internal medicine, it can be challenging for intern selection committees to screen and rank applicants equitably using principles of holistic review. Our workshop will begin with defining and identifying program specific mission focused factors using a shared mental model approach, unique to each program. We will subsequently share the novel role of technology using individualized software to allow these holistic principles to be put into practice and mitigate bias in building a diverse and mission-fit rank order list. Our process highlights the role of technology in facilitating the process of recruitment which prioritizes experiences and attributes proportionally to traditionally used metrics individualized to each applicant in order to match the "ideal" interns at your program. Our presentation will subsequently follow a breakout small group session to score applicants using these principals by utilizing conventional method versus using this simple technology that can be easily individualized by any program.
