Abstract
In 2021, the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical School Education recommended that graduate medical education programs conduct residency interviews virtually due to the Covid-19 pandemic.1 Oral and maxillofacial surgery (OMS) was included in this recommendation. After experiencing the virtual platform for interviews, some programs elected to continue virtual interviews in 2022, while others have returned to in-person. Undoubtedly, in-person and virtual interviews each have their strengths and weaknesses, and consequently, may impact how a candidate views a program. Given that there are many differences between in-person and virtual interviews, it is likely that OMS residency match may also be affected.
