Abstract

Objective: To provide an updated evaluation of otolaryngology residency program websites during a socially distanced application cycle. Criteria were selected to evaluate for level of comprehensiveness, new content accommodating a virtual interview cycle, and stated commitment to diversity and inclusion.

Study design: Review of otolaryngology residency program websites.

Setting: Online websites between December 2020 and January 2021.

Methods: Otolaryngology residency program websites were evaluated for selected criteria. Programs were categorized by geographic location, size, and Doximity rankings. Differences between groups were analyzed using Student's t-test and analysis of variance with a significance level of P < .05.

Results: 118 otolaryngology residency program websites contained a mean (SD) of 16.3 (4.7) of 31 criteria (52.6%). Fewer than one third included virtual/video tours of facilities or the surrounding area. Only 33% had a stated commitment to diversity and inclusion. There was no difference in number of criteria included when categorized by geographic location (P = .22). Larger programs (17.9 vs 14.5, P < .001) and programs ranked in the top 50 by Doximity (17.7 vs 15.2, P = .003) included a significantly greater number of criteria.

Conclusion: While the comprehensiveness of otolaryngology residency program websites has improved, considerable room for improvement remains. Programs should strive to maintain updated websites that highlight training opportunities, program culture, and commitment to diversity and inclusion. Programs also should consider prioritizing the development of new online resources that may be especially useful to applicants during a virtual interview cycle.

耳鼻喉科住院医师培训项目网站的社会距离申请周期。

目的：对耳鼻咽喉科住院医师培训项目网站进行最新评估。研究设计：审查耳鼻喉科住院医师培训项目网站：研究设计：审查耳鼻喉科住院医师培训项目网站：研究设计：审查耳鼻喉科住院医师培训项目网站：根据选定的标准对耳鼻喉科住院医师培训项目网站进行评估。根据地理位置、规模和Doximity排名对项目进行分类。采用学生 t 检验和方差分析对组间差异进行分析，显著性水平为 P <.05：118 个耳鼻喉科住院医师培训项目网站包含 31 项标准（52.6%）中的平均值（SD）16.3（4.7）项。只有不到三分之一的网站包含设施或周边地区的虚拟/视频游览。只有 33% 的标准声明了对多样性和包容性的承诺。按地理位置分类，所包含的标准数量没有差异（P = .22）。规模较大的项目（17.9 vs 14.5，P < .001）和在 Doximity 排名前 50 的项目（17.7 vs 15.2，P = .003）所包含的标准数量明显更多：结论：尽管耳鼻喉科住院医师培训项目网站的全面性有所提高，但仍有很大的改进空间。项目应努力维护更新网站，突出培训机会、项目文化以及对多元化和包容性的承诺。项目还应考虑优先开发新的在线资源，这些资源在虚拟面试周期中可能对申请人特别有用。
