  • Empathy is a key attribute of competent physicians. Yet, research on empathy as medical school admission criterion in Germany is still scarce. Lübeck Medical School admits 60 percent of students via standardised, structured face-to-face panel interviews designed to measure non-academic aspects of aptitude for medical school. We hypothesise that we can detect a difference in empathy levels between interview-admitted and non-admitted students. In our sample (N = 420), admitted compared to non-admitted applicants show significantly higher empathy scores on an established standardised self-assessment tool. The effect persists when relevant covariates (age, sex and pre-university grade point average) are included in the analysis. Of the covariates, only sex had a significant influence. Despite limited generalisability, our study indicates that interviews do help select empathetic medical students and contributes to the field of medical school admission research with implications for practice.
