Effect of teleconferencing variables on faculty impression of mock residency applicants.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

The objective of this study was to assess how teleconferencing variables influence faculty impressions of mock residency applicants.

Methods

In October 2020, we conducted an online experiment studying five teleconferencing variables: background, lighting, eye contact, internet connectivity, and audio quality. We created interview videos of three mock residency applicants and systematically modified variables in control and intervention conditions. Faculty viewed the videos and rated their immediate impression on a 1-10 scale. The effect of each variable was measured as the mean difference between the intervention and control impression ratings. One-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) was performed to assess whether ratings varied across applicants. Paired-samples Wilcox
