Factors important to anesthesiology residency applicants during recruitment.
The United States residency application and interview process is expensive and time consuming. The purpose of this study is to better understand and improve the effectiveness and efficiency of the anesthesiology residency application and interview process. ⋯ Recruitment of the best residency applicants is a priority for residency programs. Our survey informs residency programs on factors to consider in developing effective recruitment strategies. Department websites were the most frequently used tool to research programs. In spite of efforts to curtail post-interview communication between applicants and programs, it continues to be a common occurrence and may influence rank lists.
