When I interview applicants, i use a paper to describe what our program is like, in areas of clinical, Research, Education; then, highlight what our program offers, and what life will be for applicant for 3 years as a fellow in our program. I am thinking of sharing my screen with my scribbling. Our University has hired a audio/video serv

Rangasamy- how about putting all these facts on a website or a document that you send them in advance?

29:45
service to record program specific highlights, typical day in the NICU, and faculty and fellows giving a brief talk about their life in our prorgam

31:52
I may do that. All the applicants appreciated my scribbling as I am talking to them. My faculty knows about what i discuss with he applicant and they spend more time with the applicant. They often tell the applicant that I will be describing the Program Details/highlights.

32:29
There is a also apparently a blackboard feature on zoom. I haven’t used it but maybe you could do that if you want?

33:04
That is exactly what I plan to explore with my IT! Thanks for your input

36:30
I think, at least the Program Director or APD should write the LOR

40:20
what is the best way to get at the soft skills of the applicant? how they act in a group? who is boastful, who is humble, etc. these are the things we get from our social events and not during our faculty interviews. we have 16-18 trainees at once and being. team player is very important...

Kim, I know that our peds anesthesia group did an "open hour" where the fellows and their candidates (including some junior faculty) could gather and just talk - kind of like during a standard fellow social outing - to get an idea of the personality of the candidates. They felt it went well and got a lot of positive feedback from both the current fellows and applicants.

44:13
What are your thoughts on a single zoom session for all applicants at the same time with fellows and faculty

45:31
My fellows rotate in 3 sites. One fellow is assigned per interview day. This fellow does tour of NICUs to the applicant/s and Lunch with applicants and other fellows who could join. No faculty for this lunch hour with the applicants, so that, current fellows can freely discuss with the applicants

46:04
I'm peds anesthesia, as well, and we had everyone log on together in one session. We had 5 faculty and 5 applicants on the call together and utilized the breakout rooms. So we were also able to see how they interacted in a group, to a degree. In turn, they were able to see how our faculty interacted and get a sense of our culture.

47:33
Group “interviews” usually don’t work well. That is just my opinion!

51:25
info or resources for behavioral interviewing would be great. thanks!

53:05
Would like to emphasize what Jennifer said re: behavioral interviews -- to ask about situations that they have done; most people can say great things about future events, but if you have them share a past example, it's usually a better representation of who they are and how they handle situations

57:43
Can we get these slides by email afterwards? Thanks

59:23
Materials from all of the virtual cafes are posted on the APPD website.
