Take home message? . VI’s = cost & time-effective way to evaluate academic and clinical aspects of programs, but applicants want opportunity to visit. Designing an equitable interview format is a complex task that will require dialogue among all stakeholders. 6/7

What interview format would they prefer for the future? . 43% chose VI with an optional visit. Although most wanted a choice, 89% worried that their choice would affect their ranking… . Reasons to choose VI included 💰and⏲️ savings. 5/7

The most helpful elements of VIs were:.👍interview with PD and other faculty/leaders.👍meetings with fellows.👍live PD presentation.👍program website . Other elements were considered less helpful. 4/7

VI made it difficult to evaluate:.✖️facilities.✖️location.✖️culture.✖️faculty-fellow relationship.✖️fit within program. But applicants got a good sense of:.✔️clinical experiences.✔️curriculum.✔️potential for research/academic development. 3/7

We heard from 289 applicants (27% completion rate). Median number of interviews: 9 (IQR 5-12). ~30% applied to more programs and accepted more interviews due to the VI format. 35% of respondents applied to more than 50 programs!. 2/7
