Medical student self-assessment as emergency medicine residency applicants.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Emergency medicine (EM) applicants are encouraged to consider their own "competitiveness" when deciding on the number of applications to submit. Program directors rank the Standardized Letter of Evaluation (SLOE) as the most important factor when reviewing an applicant. Accurate insight into how clinical performance is reflected on the SLOE could improve medical students' ability to gauge their own competitiveness.

Objective

This study aims to determine the accuracy of students' self-assessment by SLOE evaluation measures when compared to the SLOE completed by faculty after their EM clerkship.

Methods

Participants of this multicenter study included fourth-year medical students who had completed their EM clerkship and were applying to EM residency. Students
