This poses major barriers to conducting holistic application reviews. <b>Objective:</b> To create and implement a data-driven selection process that promotes holistic reviews within a tight timeline to select applicants for invitation to interview. <b>Methods:</b> In 2022, we conducted a survey of clinical faculty and fellows to ascertain the experiences, attributes, metrics, and characteristics deemed important for success in our training environment. We formed a selection committee and used the survey results to construct an automated screening tool and a faculty-completed application review form with resultant data summarized to aid in data-supported selection decisions. <b>Results:</b> Among the 60 survey respondents, 42 (71%) were faculty members and 17 (29%) were current fellows. The six most important items for trainee success fell under the domain of leadership attributes. Survey results were used to create a weighted screening score that was used for initial triaging of applications and a weighted faculty-reviewed application score standardized to each faculty reviewer and used to select applicants for interviews. These sequential scores allowed a holistic review of 306 applications by 20 faculty in a time-sensitive manner. <b>Conclusion:</b> Survey methods can be used to generate weighted and standardized application assessment tools that allow data-supported fellow selection decisions and facilitate holistic application reviews.</p>","PeriodicalId":72330,"journal":{"name":"ATS scholar","volume":" ","pages":"85-93"},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2025-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12001043/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143043856","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The letter writer's gender was identified through an online search of professional websites. Linguistic Inquiry and Word Count was used to identify the frequency of adjective types (e.g., grindstone, communal).

The majority of applicants (64.1% [<i>n</i> = 1,703 of 2,658]) were male, and most letter writers (72.1% [<i>n</i> = 6,603 of 9,152]) identified as men.
