Objective: This study aims to understand the residency resources used by psychiatry applicants who applied during the first two virtual recruitment seasons, match 2021 and 2022.

Methods: Between January 27, 2022, and February 24, 2022, a non-probabilistic sample of psychiatry residents from the match 2018 through match 2022 cycles were asked to complete a survey via email and social media. Due to the continuation of virtual recruitment post-pandemic, an analysis of psychiatry residents in the match 2021 and 2022 cycles was conducted. Questions assessed the use of recruitment resources, including websites, the Fellowship and Residency Electronic and Interactive Database, virtual open houses, video tours, away rotations, and social media platforms. Descriptive statistics and chi-square analyses were used.

Results: Psychiatry residents from the match 2021 and 2022 cycles completed the survey (n = 605), with 288 US allopathic medicine doctors (47.6%), 178 (29.4%) international medical graduates, and 139 (23.0%) osteopathic medicine doctors. More than half of respondents (n = 347, 57.4%) reported that the virtual interview season increased the number of programs they intended to apply to. Most respondents (n = 594, 88.3%) reported attending one or more psychiatry virtual open houses and 84.6% (n = 512) followed psychiatry residency programs on at least one social media platform. Program websites were reported to be the most influential digital platform for both applying and ranking.

Conclusion: Understanding the influence of recruitment resources is essential for residents and program leadership to optimize time and resources to assist applicants with their decision-making.
