Current Practices in Admission Interviews at U.S. Medical Schools.
Johnson, Eugene K.; Edwards, Janine C.
Academic Medicine, v66 n7 p408-12 Jul 1991

Most interview processes were loosely to moderately structured, and interviewers received minimal training. The interviewer's role is primarily subjective but influential in admissions decisions.
