Social Media Utilization Trends in Orthopaedic Surgery Residency Programs During the COVID-19 Pandemic
CONCLUSION: Over one-third of programs are utilizing social media for recruitment purposes. There has been an 155% increase in Instagram and 43% increase in Twitter usage by residency programs since March 1, 2020. Instagram accounts created prior to the pandemic also demonstrated a near doubling of increased utilization after March. This represents a new, cost-effective way to connect with applicants in a time when in-person interactions are limited.Level of Evidence: III.PMID:34552398 | PMC:PMC8259205
