Predictive Validity of a House-Officer Selection Process at One Medical School.

Friedman, Charles P.; And Others

Academic Medicine, v66 n8 p471-73 Aug 1991

A study at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill School of Medicine evaluated the predictive value of the rank list generated in evaluating applicants for a surgery residency. Rough rankings computed directly from ratings of applicants were found to be more predictive of first year residents' performance than faculty's final rankings after meeting together. (Author/MSE)
