Article Synopsis
- The COVID-19 pandemic forced pediatric anesthesiology fellowship programs to quickly transition to virtual interviews for the 2019-2020 cycle due to time constraints and ongoing challenges in healthcare management.
- A survey of program directors aimed to assess the changes and challenges faced compared to traditional interview cycles, and to gather attitudes about virtual applications.
- Results showed that nearly half of respondents noted no change in applications, most maintained their interview spots, and the majority reported a smooth virtual process with high satisfaction levels regarding the overall experience.
