Videoconferencing platforms are being used for the purposes of interviewing in academic medicine because of the coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic. We present considerations applicable to interviewers and interviewees in the virtual space, with a focus on medical school and residency applicants. We reviewed the literature regarding the virtual interview process for medical school and residency by searching PubMed using the following keywords and terms: "interview," "academic medicine," "medical school application," "residency application," "virtual interviews," and "videoconferencing." Our search identified 701 results, from which we selected 36 articles for review. The garnered information focuses on strategies for optimizing the virtual interview process from the standpoint of both the interviewer and the interviewee. We discuss the advantages and disadvantages of the virtual interview process and present recommendations. While the future of the interview process for medical school and residency is uncertain, virtual interviewing is a common and growing practice that will continue to be at least part of the medical interview process for years to come. Interviewers and interviewees should prepare to adapt to the evolving changes in the process.
由于2019年冠状病毒病大流行，视频会议平台正被用于学术医学领域的面试。我们提出了适用于虚拟空间中面试官和面试者的注意事项，重点关注医学院校和住院医师项目申请者。我们通过在PubMed上使用以下关键词和术语搜索，回顾了有关医学院校和住院医师项目虚拟面试过程的文献：“面试”、“学术医学”、“医学院校申请”、“住院医师项目申请”、“虚拟面试”和“视频会议”。我们的搜索共得到701条结果，从中我们挑选了36篇文章进行综述。收集到的信息从面试官和面试者的角度聚焦于优化虚拟面试过程的策略。我们讨论了虚拟面试过程的优缺点并提出建议。虽然医学院校和住院医师项目面试过程的未来尚不确定，但虚拟面试是一种常见且不断发展的做法，在未来几年至少仍将是医学面试过程的一部分。面试官和面试者应准备好适应这一过程中不断演变的变化。
