摘要

目的学术泌尿科医师协会（SAU）对2025年泌尿外科比赛的面试形式没有明确的建议。本研究的目的是调查这个周期的申请人对面试形式的偏好和看法。方法作为前瞻性评估的一部分，对2025年泌尿外科住院医师项目的所有申请人在面试前和匹配过程后进行调查。申请人要回答一系列选择题和选择题，并对一系列陈述的一致性进行评分。结果共274名申请人接受了两项调查，其中142人（51.8%）完成了面试前调查，25人（9.1%）完成了面试后调查。申请人在对大学进行排名时优先考虑临床培训的质量和地理位置。如果节目只提供虚拟访谈，大多数受访者强烈反对这会导致对赛前和赛后调查的负面看法（60%;44%）。在赛前和赛后的调查中，大多数人强烈同意面对面访谈能更好地感知项目文化（51%;68%），并认为亲自去见住院医生/教师很重要（45%;68%）。据报道，地理位置、临床培训质量和项目“文化”是住院医师申请人看重的特征。2025年的申请者并不认为只提供虚拟面试的项目更消极，而且认为面试的成本很高。然而，他们发现与项目所在地的居民和教师面对面的互动很有价值。

Assessment of Preferred Interview Format Among 2025 Urology Residency Match Applicants

Objective

The Society of Academic Urologists (SAU) made no definitive recommendation on interview format for the 2025 urology match. The purpose of this study was to survey applicants for this cycle regarding preferences and perceptions related to interview format.

Methods

As part of a prospective assessment, surveys were administered to all applicants to our urology residency program for the 2025 cycle, both before interview and following the match process. Applicants answered a series of multiple-choice and rank choice questions and rated agreement for a series of statements.

Results

Total 274 applicants received both surveys, with 142 (51.8%) completing the preinterview survey and 25 (9.1%) completing the postmatch survey. Applicants prioritized perceived quality of clinical training and geographical location when ranking institutions. If programs offered only virtual interviews, most respondents strongly disagreed that this resulted in a negative perception on pre- and postmatch (60%; 44%) surveys. Most strongly agreed on pre- and postmatch surveys that program culture was perceived better by in-person interviews (51%; 68%) and felt that traveling to meet residents/faculty in person was important (45%; 68%).

Conclusions

Geographic location, quality of clinical training, and program ‘‘culture’’ are characteristics reportedly valued by residency applicants. Applicants for 2025 did not perceive programs offering only virtual interviews more negatively and found the cost of interviewing to be substantial. However, they found value with the in-person interaction with residents and faculty at the program location.
