Shawna Hook-HeldParticipanthi! Does anyone send out an evaluation to interviewees post interviews? I was thinking about doing this just to see what worked, what didn’t etc.

Jennafer HoylandKeymasterHello Shawna! We have one that we send out after the match. I am attaching it to this post. Let me know if you have any questions about it.

Annie DetrickKeymasterI would wait until after the Match to be aligned with Match rules. I used to send a post-match survey to gather this data. I didn’t find it spectacularly helpful – a lot of complaints that Chicago is cold in December. Who knew?

Laurie LynchKeymasterHi Shawna!
We don’t send an evaluation post-interview on the recommendation of our DIO because of the NRMP restrictions on post interview communication. We do send an evaluation post-match. Routinely we ask what they feel is the best feature of our program, and what we could improve on. Other questions vary depending on what changes we made for the interview year. For example, during virtual years, we asked about the resources they could find on our website and during our virtual open house sessions. The year we introduced our app for recruiting information, we asked questions about their engagement with that technology – ease of use, instructions to access, content.
We use Google Forms for anonymity and I send an email to each applicant with the Forms link so they can complete the survey on their phone or laptop.

Helen WomackParticipantHi Laurie, I’m interested in your app for recruiting information. Was that something your department created or did that come from your institution?

Our institution purchased the licenses at a group rate for any of the residencies who were interested in using the app. Then each residency could build their own content that reflected the needs of their specialty and applicants, and the activities they had planned for interviews and social events.
If you are in Jacksonville next week, I’m happy to connect and show you what our app looks like!

Ginae OwensParticipantHi Shawna,
We send out a post‑interview evaluation to our applicants, and it has been a helpful tool for gathering feedback on what worked well and what we can continue to improve.
I’ve attached the survey we use in case it’s helpful as a template. It’s a short form that asks about the clarity of program information, the interview structure, and overall impressions, with space for open‑ended comments as well.
