Bias Reduction in Academic Recruitment

Each candidate applying to our program will be interviewed by three core faculty. One of them will be selected, a priori, to be asked not to view a candidate's academic performance (medical school transcripts, standardized test scores). This will not be randomized. Instead, it shall be set up so that each assessor has two blinded candidates to interview each day scheduled. Given that different faculty will be scheduled each day, it may end up that certain faculty will be blinded more than others.
