Description of the Interview Process in Selecting Students for Admission to U.S. Medical Schools

James B. Puryear, Ph.D., and Lloyd A. Lewis, Ph.D.

1981~1982년도의 자료에 따르면 전 의과대학 중 99%에서 면접을 활용하고 있다. 의과대학 입학위원회가 면접을 활용해 학생선발에 도움을 받고 있음을 보여준다.

According to data obtained from Medical School Admission Requirements, 1981- 82 (5), 99 percent of all medical schools use the interview in the selection process. This widespread use further supports the idea that medical school admissions com­ mittees rely on the interview to help select students.

이러한 의존에도 불구하고 Fruen에 의하면 면접에 대한 연구는 거의 없다.

Despite this reliance, according to Fruen (6), there has been surprisingly little re­ search on the interview in the medical school admissions setting.

지난 10년간 8개의 논문밖에 없었다.

The authors found only eight articles in the Journal of Medical Education during the last 10 years that concentrated on the subject of medical student admission interviews.

면접의 활용

Use of the Interview

99%가 면접을 활용하고 있다. 그 중요도에 대해서는 98%가 4점 척도 기준으로 매우 중요함~중요함 으로 응답했다.

Ninety-nine percent of the respondents ( 106 of 107) indicated that they used the interview in student selection. In order to ascertain just how much the interview is used, three questions were asked. On a four-point scale, ranging from very impor­ tant to unimportant, an overwhelming ma­ jority (98 percent) of the respondents who used the interview indicated that the interview was important to some degree. Sev­ enty-two percent said it was very  important.

면접 형식

The Interview Format

85%가 일대일 면접

Eighty-five percent of the respondents indicated that their interviews were one to one" (that is, one interviewer and one

interviewee). 

100%에서 교수와 직원이 면접관 역할을 하며, 72%는 학생도 면접관으로서 사용한다고 했음. 34%에서는 동문 활용

One-hundred percent of the responding schools using interviews indicated that fac­ ulty and staff members were used to inter­ view applicants, while 72 percent of the schools used students also as interviewers. Alumni also interviewed applicants in 34 percent of the schools.

절반 정도에서 표준 질문 세트가 있다고 했음

About half (47 percent) of the medical schools which interview had a standard set of questions or areas of inquiry that all interviewers included in their interview sessions.

46%에서 한 지원자당 두 개의 독립적 면접을 한다고 했음

Forty-six percent of the interviewing schools required applicants to be inter­ viewed in two separate interviews,

면접 운영

Interview Administration

92%에서 면접관 훈련이나 면접에 대한 개요 설명이 있다고 했고 94%에서 지원자에 대해서 기술한 보고서를 요구한다고 했음.

Ninety-two percent of the interviewing schools trained or at least briefed their interviewers in some way on interviewing applicants. A similar percentage (94 per­ cent) required a written report on the in­ terview for the applicant's file.

76%에서는 on-campus 면접만, 24%는 on- off- campus 면접

It was found that most (76 percent) of the schools which interview held inter- views only on campus, while the rest (24 percent) interviewed students on and off campus.

Implications

대부분의 의과대학은 면접을 중요하게 여기나, 스스로의 면접의 효과성을 평가하는 도구를 가진 의과대학은 적다.

Obviously, most medical schools consider the interview important in the selection of students. However, medical schools have apparently not, for the most part, established a means of evaluating the ef­ fectiveness of their own interviews.

Description of the interview process in selecting students for admission to U.S. medical schools.

Puryear JB, Lewis LA.

Abstract

A survey was made of the medical schools in the United States to obtain a description of the interview process used in the selection of first-yearmedical students. The following questions were the basis for the study: What is the role of the interview in the selection of medical students? What is the nature of the interview process? How is the interview administered? An 87 percent response rate was obtained. The results indicated that 99 percent of the responding medical schools use interviews in evaluating students for medical school admission, and the interview ranks second only to the grade-point average in importance among four selection factors. The interview is usually in a one to one setting, with each applicant having two separate interviews. All schools use faculty and staff members in interviewing, and usually at least one admissions committee member interviews each applicant. Usually interviews are conducted on the campus of the school. Implications drawn from the results indicate a need for a quantification of methods to incorporate the interview into the selection process.
