Background Online fellowship program websites are more commonly becoming the primary information resource used by prospective applicants. This study aimed to analyze the online content of Canadian plastic surgery fellowship program websites. Methods The content of all accredited Canadian Plastic Surgery fellowship program websites was evaluated using a 75-point criterion in the following ten domains: recruitment, faculty, residents/fellows, research and education, surgical program, clinical work, benefits, and career planning, wellness, environment and gender of faculty leadership. Results On average, fellowship program websites obtained a score of 29.9 (SD=12.6). No correlation was detected between program websites and location (P > 0.05) nor by ranking (P > 0.05). Conclusions Most Canadian plastic surgery fellowship program websites lacked content relevant to prospective applicants. More comprehensive fellowship program websites may be of benefit to prospective applicants and the programs.
背景 在线奖学金项目网站越来越普遍地成为潜在申请者使用的主要信息资源。本研究旨在分析加拿大整形外科奖学金项目网站的在线内容。方法 使用75分标准对所有加拿大认可的整形外科奖学金项目网站的内容在以下十个领域进行评估:招聘、教员、住院医师/研究员、研究与教育、手术项目、临床工作、福利、职业规划、健康、环境以及教员领导的性别。结果 平均而言,奖学金项目网站得分为29.9(标准差=12.6)。未发现项目网站与地点之间存在相关性(P>0.05),按排名也未发现相关性(P>0.05)。结论 大多数加拿大整形外科奖学金项目网站缺乏与潜在申请者相关的内容。更全面的奖学金项目网站可能对潜在申请者和项目有益。
