Jennifer,


I deal with a similar problem when it comes to evaluating fellowship candidates in our dept. (OB?GYN). What I do is get an adjusted score by calculating the average rating given by each rater for the candidates they evaluate. I then divide each candidates score by the mean for the rater that evaluated them and then I average these adjusted scores. This corrects for biases of different raters in evaluating the candidates. Our raw scores have a maximum value of 100 pts.
