BACKGROUND
Virtual interviews for Maternal-Fetal Medicine (MFM) fellowship have been feasible and successful with significant cost and time savings. However, there are concerns about an applicant's ability to accurately evaluate a program virtually. The objective of this study was to evaluate MFM fellows' experience in their fellowship training program at the completion of their first year compared to their expectations of the program based on their interview, comparing fellows who interviewed in-person to those who interviewed virtually.
METHODS
A novel cross-sectional online survey was distributed to all first-year MFM fellows in the final class to undergo in-person interviews (2021), as well as those who were the first to interview virtually (2022) at accredited programs in the United States. Participants were asked whether their interview experience provided an accurate representation of their program, whether their interview experience allowed them to accurately assess their "fit," how their expectation of the program prior to starting compared to their actual experience in their first year of training, and their overall satisfaction. Descriptive statistics and bivariate analysis were performed to compare groups.
RESULTS
We received 48 responses in 2021, (37.5% response rate) and 48 responses in 2022 (36.1% response rate). There was no difference between the in-person and virtual groups in agreement that the interview experience provided an accurate representation of the program (p = 0.41). While there was a trend toward more fellows from the in-person group strongly agreeing that their interview experience allowed them to accurately assess their "fit" with the program as compared to the virtual group, there was no significant difference in ability to assess fit between groups (p = 0.06). There was no difference in expectation of the program prior to starting compared to the actual experience in the first year of fellowship (p = 0.18) or overall satisfaction with the fellowship program (p = 0.95).
CONCLUSIONS
MFM fellows' expectations of their fellowship program matched their experience in the first year of training whether the fellow interviewed virtually or in person. These data suggest that virtual interviews are as effective as in-person interviews in providing realistic expectations of the program and thus support ongoing exclusive virtual interviews in our subspecialty.
背景
母胎医学（MFM）专科培训的虚拟面试已切实可行且取得成功，显著节省了成本和时间。然而，人们担心申请人能否通过虚拟方式准确评估一个项目。本研究的目的是在第一年培训结束时，评估MFM专科培训学员在其培训项目中的经历，并将其与基于面试对该项目的期望进行比较，同时比较参加现场面试的学员和参加虚拟面试的学员。
方法
一项新颖的横断面在线调查被分发给所有最后一批参加现场面试（2021年）的第一年MFM专科培训学员，以及美国经认可项目中第一批参加虚拟面试（2022年）的学员。参与者被问及他们的面试经历是否准确反映了他们的项目，他们的面试经历是否使他们能够准确评估自己的“契合度”，他们在开始培训前对该项目的期望与第一年实际培训经历相比如何，以及他们的总体满意度。进行描述性统计和双变量分析以比较各组。
结果
我们在2021年收到48份回复（回复率37.5%），在2022年收到48份回复（回复率36.1%）。在认为面试经历准确反映项目方面，现场面试组和虚拟面试组之间没有差异（p = 0.41）。虽然与虚拟面试组相比，现场面试组中有更多学员强烈同意他们的面试经历使他们能够准确评估自己与项目的“契合度”，但两组在评估契合度的能力上没有显著差异（p = 0.06）。在开始培训前对项目的期望与专科培训第一年的实际经历相比没有差异（p = 0.18），对专科培训项目的总体满意度也没有差异（p = 0.95）。
结论
无论学员是参加虚拟面试还是现场面试，MFM专科培训学员对其专科培训项目的期望都与他们第一年的培训经历相符。这些数据表明，虚拟面试在提供对项目的现实期望方面与现场面试一样有效，因此支持在我们的亚专业中继续进行独家虚拟面试。
