“…16,[24][25][26][27][28][29] Predictably, the WBI process was universally associated with decreased costs and time commitments. 16,[24][25][26][27]30,31 Despite the significant reduction in time and cost, applicants and faculty in these pilots generally preferred FTF interviews due to perceived ability to represent themselves and develop rapport in FTF interviews. 16,26,30 As a result, many authors concluded that WBI would be a reasonable adjunct to the FTF interview, not a replacement.…”

“…One-on-one interviews can easily be converted to a remote format. Video conference interviews have not been found to result in a change in factors associated with acceptance compared with in-person interviews [16,23], and one program even found that applicants were perceived to be more relaxed during remote interviews [16]. While traditional formats can be continued, some programs may use this as an opportune time to experiment with different types of interviews.…”

“…The best practice guidelines from the AAMC for conducting residency interviews [11] continue to be relevant for remote interviews with some creative and logistical modifications. There have already been positive reports of using remote interviews effectively for recruitment to residency programs [12][13][14][15][16].…”

“…With the uncertainty surrounding COVID-19, several institutions are compelled to transition from face-to-face interviewing (FTFI) to virtual interviewing (VI) for the upcoming interviewing season. Although VI maybe explored in nonmedical disciplines, there are limited reports in the existing medical literature describing the utilization of VI in interviewing [2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18]. Traditionally, FTFI remains to be a preference for candidate selection process.…”

Purpose Coronavirus disease-19 (COVID-19) has forced upon all academic institutions to conduct virtual interviewing (VI) instead of face-to-face interviewing (FTFI) this interviewing cycle. The purpose of this systematic review was to understand the process of VI, its effectiveness as an alternative to FTFI, and the experiences of applicants and institutions with VI. We also share best practice strategies for applicants and institutions in VI preparation. Method PubMed/MEDLINE, Cochrane Library of Systematic Reviews, Web of Science Core Collection, Scopus and CINAHL databases were searched through May 2020. Articles in English evaluating the effectiveness of VI were included, without applying any date limits. Two reviewers selected articles and extracted data. Results Of the 934 articles screened, 22 articles underwent full-text article analysis to include 15 studies. There were 4 studies that reported the use of VI as a screening tool. 11 studies completely replaced FTFI with VI. Most applicants could appropriately convey themselves through VI. Most applicants and interviewing programs expressed reservations about VI’s use as an alternative to FTFI. Conclusion There is dearth of evidence supporting the efficacy of VI. There is an opportunity for potential research at multi-institutional level to gain better understanding of the efficacy of VI. The knowledge obtained from this systematic review has the potential of helping applicants and institutions in preparing for VI process. Additionally, authors propose supportive strategies to help prepare applicants and institutions for VI.
