OBJECTIVES/HYPOTHESIS: Postinterview communication between residency programs and applicants is common during the US residency match process. To date, current communication practices between otolaryngology residency programs and applicants have not been studied. The objectives of this study were to characterize the frequency and type of postinterview communication and perceptions of how this communication influences ranking behavior of match participants.
Survey.
A national survey of Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education-accredited otolaryngology programs was distributed via the Otolaryngology Program Directors Organization.
Program directors were surveyed regarding methods and content of postinterview communication, perceived impact that communication has on final rank lists, and current interpretations of the National Resident Matching Program (NRMP) Code of Conduct. Thirty-three of 106 program directors (31.1%) responded. Thirty-eight percent of programs that responded initiate at least some form of postinterview communication. The program director most commonly initiated communication, typically in the form of an email. A minority of respondents (12.1%) indicated that specific information is revealed regarding rank status. Thirty-two percent of respondents indicated that communication initiated by applicants may influence final rank list. Twenty percent of respondents interpret the current NRMP Code of Conduct as allowing programs to reveal rank positions to applicants, and 63.6% of respondents as allowing applicants to reveal intended rank positions.
The results of this study demonstrate that postinterview communication practices within otolaryngology vary widely. Program directors perceive that postinterview contact between applicants and programs has limited impact on ranking behavior. NRMP rules for postinterview communication between programs and candidates are interpreted variably by program directors.

目的/假设:在美国住院医师匹配过程中,住院医师培训项目与申请人之间的面试后沟通很常见。迄今为止,尚未对耳鼻喉科住院医师培训项目与申请人之间目前的沟通方式进行研究。本研究的目的是描述面试后沟通的频率和类型,以及对这种沟通如何影响匹配参与者排名行为的看法。
调查。
通过耳鼻喉科项目主任组织对美国研究生医学教育认证委员会认证的耳鼻喉科项目进行全国性调查。
就面试后沟通的方法和内容、沟通对最终排名列表的感知影响以及对国家住院医师匹配计划(NRMP)行为准则的当前解释,对项目主任进行了调查。106名项目主任中有33名(31.1%)做出了回应。做出回应的项目中有38%至少发起了某种形式的面试后沟通。项目主任最常发起沟通,通常是以电子邮件的形式。少数受访者(12.1%)表示会透露有关排名状态的具体信息。32%的受访者表示申请人发起的沟通可能会影响最终排名列表。20%的受访者将当前的NRMP行为准则解释为允许项目向申请人透露排名位置,63.6%的受访者认为允许申请人透露预期排名位置。
本研究结果表明,耳鼻喉科内部的面试后沟通方式差异很大。项目主任认为申请人与项目之间的面试后联系对排名行为的影响有限。项目主任对NRMP关于项目与候选人之间面试后沟通的规则有不同的解释。
