Abstract

OBJECTIVE

To evaluate the impact of virtual interviews on geographic trends for applicants and programs in the obstetrics and gynecology (OBGYN) resident match.

DESIGN

Cross-sectional study of a random 50% sample of all OBGYN residency programs listed by the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME) for the 2023 to 2024 academic year. Data collected from each program included geographic location, number of residents per year, and total number of residents. Residents were categorized into 4 mutually exclusive geographic match categories: matched into the same institution, matched into same state (but different institution), matched into the same US Census region but a different state/institution, or matched into a different US Census region.

RESULTS

A total of 148 of 295 (50.2%) residency programs were included (known total number of residents = 2,928 from four US census regions and Puerto Rico). Most programs were considered small (≤16 residents; n = 52, 35.1%). In general, 43.9% (1148 of 2617) residents matched in a different region from their medical school training. For the primary outcome, no differences in the geographic placement in the previrtual (2020) and virtual application cycles (2021-2023) were observed (p = 0.51). When analyzed by program size or program region, there was no difference in the geographic placement in the previrtual and virtual application cycles.

CONCLUSIONS

This study suggests that the virtual interview process did not demonstrate an impact on geographical placement of OBGYN residents, regardless of the size of the residency program or the program's geographic region.

妇产科住院医师地域匹配位置模式：虚拟面试前后的比较

设计对毕业后医学教育认证委员会（ACGME）列出的 2023 至 2024 学年所有妇产科住院医师培训项目中的 50%随机样本进行横断面研究。从每个项目收集的数据包括地理位置、每年住院医师人数和住院医师总数。住院医师被分为 4 个相互排斥的地理匹配类别：匹配到同一机构、匹配到同一州（但不同机构）、匹配到同一美国人口普查地区但不同州/机构，或匹配到不同美国人口普查地区。结果295 个住院医师项目中共有 148 个（50.2%）被纳入（已知住院医师总人数 = 2928 人，来自美国四个人口普查地区和波多黎各）。大多数项目被认为规模较小（≤16 名住院医师；n = 52，35.1%）。总体而言，43.9%（2617 人中有 1148 人）的住院医师在不同地区接受了医学院培训。就主要结果而言，前虚拟申请周期（2020 年）和虚拟申请周期（2021-2023 年）的地理位置没有差异（p = 0.51）。结论：本研究表明，无论住院医师培训项目的规模或项目的地理区域如何，虚拟面试过程都不会对妇产科住院医师的地理位置产生影响。

期刊介绍： The Journal of Surgical Education (JSE) is dedicated to advancing the field of surgical education through original research. The journal publishes research articles in all surgical disciplines on topics relative to the education of surgical students, residents, and fellows, as well as practicing surgeons. Our readers look to JSE for timely, innovative research findings from the international surgical education community. As the official journal of the Association of Program Directors in Surgery (APDS), JSE publishes the proceedings of the annual APDS meeting held during Surgery Education Week.
