Optimizing the Virtual Interview Experience for Hand Surgery Fellowships

J Hand Surg Am. 2021 Nov 26:S0363-5023(21)00659-6. doi: 10.1016/j.jhsa.2021.10.008. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTSimilar to many other medical training programs, fellowship interviews for hand surgery will be conducted virtually for a second consecutive year. We provide strategies for applicants to ideally portray themselves and to learn about fellowship programs. We include approaches for fellowship programs to identify candidates that match their values as a program, as well as ways to provide useful information to applicants about the program's culture. Given that components of virtual interviewing and recruitment will likely be an ongoing part of fellowship applications, we hope this article provides a framework to guide both applicants and program faculty for the 2021 to 2022 cycle and beyond.PMID:34844793 | DOI:10.1016/j.jhsa.2021.10.008
