To analyze the impact of interview date on the program rank list for an academic Neurology residency.
Interviewing for residency is a stressful process for both candidates and Program Directors.  Candidates want to optimize their interview strategy and programs seek to minimize bias.  
A retrospective review of interview dates and rank list data was analyzed for a single Neurology program with three different Program Directors for the period from 2009-2017 totaling 508 interviewed applicants.
The date of interview had no effect on whether a candidate matched to our program, however a statistically significant impact was seen for the final rank list order.  Candidates on the first or second interview date were significantly more likely to be ranked in the top 10% and 20% of candidates (p<0.001 and p=0.025).
This is the first study to evaluate the impact of interview order on program rank list for a Neurology residency.  Although there was no significant impact on program Match, this metric is primarily driven by candidate selection and secondarily by program rankings. This potential source of residency ranking bias merits further evaluation for confirmation and presence in additional specialties and programs.
