What is the SVI?
The Standardized Video Interview is comprised of six questionsaround two ACGME competencies: knowledge of professionalbehaviors, and interpersonal and communication skills. Theinterviews are scored by trained third party raters, and thosescores (along with the applicant videos) are then provided to theemergency medicine residency program directors, to which theapplicant has applied, as an assessment of applicants’behavioral competencies. The Standardized Video Interviewscores are standard, objective, and triangulate with theStandardized Letter of Evaluation (SLOE) and other dataavailable within the ERAS application.

Getting Set Up
Technology• Confirm the digital interview environment’s technical specifications
(e.g., browser, webcam resolutions).
• Double-check your microphone and camera to make sure they’reworking well. Make a note of how they’re positioned so you canrecreate a setup that works when you log in to the system tocomplete your interview.
• Computer, tablet, or phone can be used—computer recommended!
** Raters will be trained to grade on content, not A/V quality.

Environment
Environment• Identify a private, quiet, and well-lit space where you can complete
the interview by yourself, you are free of potential distractions, andyou can speak freely (e.g., avoid the library).
• Avoid sources of bright light (e.g., sunlight, lamp) directly behind you.
• Make sure the background area that will be visible in thevideo/camera frame is clean, organized, and free from objects (e.g.,pictures, posters, diplomas). If possible, try to find a location with abare wall.

Completing the InterviewLogistics• Dress professionally, as you would for an in-person interview. Think about
what might be distracting on camera.

Completing the Interview (cont’d)Logistics (cont’d)• Dress professionally, as you would for an in-person interview. Think about what might
be distracting on camera.• Give yourself plenty of time to complete the video interview. Allow time at the
beginning to conduct a technology check, answer practice questions, and get used tothe interview environment.
• Try not to move around too much while you’re recording your responses. If you needto get up and walk around or eat or drink something, you can pause your sessionbriefly in between questions.
• Do the interview at a time when you’re rested and focused. As with any formalinterview, you want to be able to focus on understanding the questions, craftingcoherent responses, and presenting your best self.
• Use a chair that is stationary—that is, one that does not swivel or sit on rollers.• Make sure the device you use to complete the interview is fully charged and Shut
down all programs on your device so that no alerts, notifications, or other electronicinterruptions distract you.

Responding• Try to focus on providing specific examples of behavior that you engaged in from your
life and experiences when responding to questions, and try to avoid speaking ingeneralities. One strong example is better than several weak or tangential examples.
• Use clinical and nonclinical experiences to respond to questions as appropriate. Anote on patient confidentiality: some interview questions may ask you to describeprevious experiences with colleagues and patients. While it is important to providespecific responses to the interview questions, you should not provide any informationthat could be used to identify patients or colleagues (i.e., will nullify your scores!).
• You don’t need to take the full three minutes to respond if you feel you’ve answeredthe question effectively and comprehensively in less time.
• Read the entire question before you begin responding. Make sure you respond to allparts of the question.
• Do not repeat the interview question. Raters will have access to the questions.• If you have a rough start, take a deep breath and attempt to answer the question
again. You don’t need to apologize or explain if you restart—just focus on respondingto the question in the remaining time.
