Poster Abstract
Background: Traditional residency selection metrics incompletely capture behavioral traits essential for emergency medicine (EM) performance.
Objective: To propose a theory-driven framework using structured behavioral questions as stress tests to detect high-value traits.
Methods: Conceptual analysis of three standardized behavioral prompts assessing execution, systems thinking, and team orientation.
Results: Distinct response patterns align with observable domains associated with reliability, performance, and leadership.
Conclusion: Behavioral stress test questions offer a scalable, low-cost method to enhance residency selection processes.
