Great Escape: An Escape Room to Enhance the Residency Interview

摘要

“I found it off-putting to be placed in a situation with other applicants and be observed by faculty members. It was uncomfortable given the fact that we were all there to interview for a select number of spots.”We conclude that a well-designed escape room can be highly acceptable while being an effective means of assessing applicant teamwork. The significant investment of faculty time for facilitation and the $3,000 cost for the initial design may be barriers for replication, although an escape room can be utilized by any residency program in collaboration with a skilled designer.
