Invention:
The residency interview tracker (RIT) allows fourth year medical students and their advisors to track the residency application season real-time. The goal of creating the RIT was to lessen the financial, time and emotional burden the application and interview process requires . This is achieved on a student by student basis by allowing the advisers to know real-time how the students are faring during interview season and allow the advisors to intervene if necessary. This software will make the interview process for all medical school students and student affair advisers easier, more manageable and cost effective. Additionally, over-time data analytics on the student interview process as well as where students end up matching can be collected and analyzed.
Background:
Currently, advisors track student interviews through e-mailing and asking them where they are going and ultimately where they end up matching. This process is ineffective and requires a large amount of time.
Applications:
- Medical students
- Office of Student Affairs
- Clinical faculty
- Graduate education programs
Advantages:
- Increased efficiency
- More manageable
- Cost effective
- Reduced uncertainty
