Values-Driven Holistic Resident Selection: Equitable Practices Before, During, and After the Interview Day

This workshop will share the tools that are used before, during, and after the residency interview as part of a holistic review and selection process of future residents. The rubric-grounded tools being implemented serve to mitigate individual biases and diversify the applicant pool to recruit, match, and retain trainees that have been historically underrepresented in medicine. The residency program has seen increasing diversity among residents using this holistic process and other programmatic efforts centered on DEI. Through facilitator-guided breakouts. participants have an opportunity to define their program values and transform those priorities into more objective rubrics that can be used holistically in the review and selection of applicants to their respective programs. Participants will leave with innovative ideas on how they can create more holistic review processes within their own programs.
