As a result of the coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic, many Pediatric Surgery Fellowship programs were forced to convert their normal in-person interviews into virtual interviews. This study sought to determine the perceived value of virtual interviews for Pediatric Surgery Fellowship.
An anonymous survey was distributed to the applicants and faculty at a university-affiliated, free-standing children's hospital with a Pediatric Surgery fellowship program that conducted one of three interview days using a virtual format.
All applicants who responded to the survey had at least one interview that was converted to a virtual interview. Faculty (75%) and applicants (87.5%) preferred in-person interviews over virtual interviews; most applicants (57%) did not feel they got to know the program as well with the virtual format. Applicants and faculty felt that virtual interviews could potentially be used as a screening tool in the future (7/10 Likert) but did not recommend they be used as a complete replacement for in-person interviews (3.5-5/10 Likert). Applicants were more likely than faculty to report that interview type influenced their final rank list (5 versus 3/10 Likert).
Faculty and applicants preferred in-person interviews and did not recommend that virtual interviews replace in-person interviews. As the coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic continues, more virtual interviews will be necessary, and innovations may be necessary to ensure an optimal interview process.

由于 2019 年冠状病毒病大流行，许多小儿外科学住院医师培训计划被迫将其正常的面对面面试改为虚拟面试。本研究旨在确定虚拟面试对小儿外科学住院医师培训的感知价值。
对一家大学附属的独立儿童医院的申请人和教师进行了一项匿名调查，该医院有一个小儿外科学住院医师培训计划，其中有三天的面试采用虚拟形式进行。
所有回应调查的申请人都至少有一次面试改为虚拟面试。教师（75%）和申请人（87.5%）更喜欢面对面的面试而不是虚拟面试；大多数申请人（57%）认为虚拟形式无法很好地了解该计划。申请人和教师认为虚拟面试将来可能会用作筛选工具（7/10 利克特量表），但不建议将其用作面对面面试的完全替代品（3.5-5/10 利克特量表）。与教师相比，申请人更有可能报告面试类型影响他们的最终排名（5 比 3/10 利克特）。
教师和申请人更喜欢面对面的面试，不建议用虚拟面试代替面对面面试。随着 2019 年冠状病毒病大流行的继续，将需要更多的虚拟面试，并且可能需要创新以确保面试过程的最佳效果。
