Questions should be standardized across applicant interviews.•Potential domains include interpersonal skills, conflict resolution, communication, motivation, compassion, leadership, teamwork, reflection, resiliency, learning from previous mistakes, and diversity, among others. Examples of characteristics and behaviorally-based questions:-Resilience: “Our residents often address difficult or challenging situations. Please give an example of a time when you faced a challenge that tested your coping skills.”64-Internal motivation: “Our residents often go above and beyond. Please describe a time when you went the extra mile when it would have been just as acceptable not to, and why.”64-Conflict resolution: “Tell me about a time you had to deal with conflict within a team.”53 |
