Evaluating the impact of a mandatory pre-abortion ultrasound viewing law: A mixed methods study.

Background: Since mid-2013, Wisconsin abortion providers have been legally required to display and describe pre-abortion ultrasound images. We aimed to understand the impact of this law.

Methods: We used a mixed-methods study design at an abortion facility in Wisconsin.

Can a structured, behavior-based interview predict future resident success?

Objective: To determine whether a structured, behavior-based applicant interview predicts future success in an obstetrics and gynecology residency program.

Study Design: Using a modified pre-post study design, we compared behavior-based interview scores of our residency applicants to a postmatch evaluation completed by the applicant's current residency program director. Applicants were evaluated on the following areas: academic record, professionalism, leadership, trainability/suitability for the specialty, and fit for the program.
