ObjectiveThe 360° multisource feedback (MSF) is an assessment tool used to assess a physician's competency, skills and communication by gathering feedback from multiple groups of assessors. Studies on its use in the residency selection process is limited. This study aims to determine if 360° MSF affects faculty perception of a candidate and its influence on residency selection.MethodsFor the selection of the 2015 SingHealth Obstetrics and Gynaecology Residency Programme, 360° MSF was gathered and collated prior to the interview. During the ranking exercise, selection panel members voted on a candidate based on their performance during the interview and review of their curriculum vitae. The selection panel was then given each candidate's 360° MSF and was asked to vote for a second time. Results of the voting before and after 360° MSF were analysed.ResultsComparing scores before and after 360° MSF, the mean difference was 0.193 with a standard deviation of 0.380. Paired t-test of the candidate's scores before and after 360° MSF showed a significant difference after 360° MSF was revealed (p=0.018).ConclusionFaculty perception is influenced by 360° MSF and can lead to changes in voting patterns of a residency selection process.
