No difference in subsequent trainee satisfaction associated with in-person exposure prior to remote interviews.

ABSTRACT:

Background

In 2020-2021, residency and fellowship applicants participated in virtual interviews. There was concern that trainees who had not been to the area before would potentially have different satisfaction with their new workplace and community.

Objective

To compare satisfaction and likelihood to recommend work and community among new trainees with or without prior exposure to a single academic center or its environs.

Methods

We conducted an IRB-approved cross-sectional survey of new trainees. An electronic survey included demographic items, self-report of prior exposure to the area, satisfaction with the program and area, and likelihood to recommend the program and area. Descriptive statistics were used for responses and Chi square tests for comparisons.
