I don't know if that's how it works everywhere

My program does interviews through January. Residents go out to dinner, one gives a tour, and then there's a 3 resident panel that interviews the group. Each of those residents evaluates each candidate. There's a score sheet. There are also faculty score sheets. There are also comments. Faculty and Chiefs put together a preliminary rank list, then our program director takes a single noon conference and says, "what needs to change?" The entire program (24) are present and giving input. Moving people up, down, off, and on the list. Faculty reconvene and make the final decisions and tweak it a bit further.

From what I've gathered, we are one of very few that do it this way. But it's pretty cool to have a lot of input into who we do/don't want to work with.
