Upcoming interview season?

[Guest]

Any chatter about what will happen with interviews this year? A few years ago I had to take out a loan to cover the cost of travel just for the privilege of having attendings address me by the wrong name, review charts on Epic, and surf the internet during my interviews. OB/GYN and ophtho are doing virtual interviews followed by optional second look weekends (after programs have submitted rank lists). My program is waiting for guidance from a governing body. It won’t be a good look for the field if AANS/CNS don’t follow suit... anyone have inside information?

Found this on the AAMC specialty info website (https://services.aamc.org/eras/erasstats/par/report.cfm):

From Neurosurgery: https://students-residents.aamc.org/medi...1/download

Specifically point #3: "Neurological Surgery supports a hybrid system of initial virtual interviews and an optional secondary in-person component for 2021-2022. Data-driven development of a national policy to ensure equity, fiscal responsibility, and education for the in-person component of the recruitment cycle in ongoing."
