Résumé
Increasing the diversity of the emergency medicine (EM) workforce is imperative, with more diverse teams showing improved patient care and increased innovation. Holistic review, adapted from the Association of American Medical Colleges (AAMC), focuses on screening applicants with a balanced method, valuing their experiences, attributes, and academic metrics equally. A core tenet to holistic review is that diversity is essential to excellence. Implementation of holistic review into the residency application screening process is effective at improving exposure to underrepresented in medicine (URiM) applicants. After adjustment of our residency application screening rubric, improving our balance across the experience, attributes, and metrics domains, we conducted a retrospective cohort study comparing the representation of URiM applicants invited to interview, interviewed, and ranked by composite score compared to our previous primarily metric-based process. A total of 8,343 applicants were included in the study. Following implementation of holistic review, we saw an increase in the absolute percent of URiM applicants invited to interview (+11%, 95% confidence interview [CI] = 6.9% to 15.4%, Holistic review can be used as a systematic and equitable tool to increase the exposure and recruitment of URiM applicants in EM training programs.
