OBJECTIVE: To determine whether a structured, behavior-based applicant interview predicts future success in an obstetrics and gynecology residency program. STUDY DESIGN: Using a modified pre-post study design, we compared behavior-based interview scores of our residency applicants to a postmatch evaluation completed by the applicant's current residency program director. Applicants were evaluated on the following areas: academic record, professionalism, leadership, trainability/suitability for the specialty, and fit for the program. RESULTS: Information was obtained for 45 (63%) applicants. The overall interview score did not correlate with overall resident performance. Applicant leadership subscore was predictive of leadership performance as a resident (P = .042). Academic record was associated with patient care performance as a resident (P = .014), but only for graduates of US medical schools. Five residents changed programs; these residents had significantly lower scores for trainability/suitability for the specialty (P = .020). CONCLUSION: Behavioral interviewing can provide predictive information regarding success in an obstetrics and gynecology training program.
