Meet RezRATE, the one-stop solution for scheduling, evaluating, and ranking residency candidates.
Are You for Residency Interview Season?
RezRATE was created because we understand how exhausting residency candidate selection can be. Every year you have to send out invitations, coordinate schedules, complete evaluations, organize feedback, and debate rankings. Making a good match takes time, but it’s worth the effort because each resident represents a huge investment your program is making in its future.
The annual estimated cost associated with training and supporting a single resident can range from $180,000* to $224,668**. Multiply that cost by each residency year and then multiply that total again by the number of residents you plan to support. The final sum might seem staggering, but it’s not unreasonable given all the ways residents contribute to a program’s overall success and reputation.
Because the stakes are high and candidate selection is so critical, you might be asking yourself:
- "How do I create an effective evaluation that addresses all of my program’s needs?"
- "How do I institute a process simple enough that even my busiest faculty members will participate?"
- "How do I compile candidate scores, organize evaluator feedback, and make ranking data easier for my team to visualize and compare?"
The answer to all these questions is RezRATE, a suite of tools developed to help graduate medical educators make better decisions about residency candidate evaluation. RezRATE consolidates all your information into one place and simplifies every step of the process, from the invitations to the final rank list.
Let us show you how RezRATE can get your team ready!
