Psychosurgery

Psychosurgery

Psychosurgery, the surgical alteration or permanent removal of brain tissue to alleviate severe psychological conditions, stands as one of the most radical and controversial treatments in the history of mental health care. Its development and application have evolved significantly, marked by dramatic shifts in scientific understanding and ethical perspectives.

Background:

The COVID-19 pandemic necessitated a shift to virtual interviews for the 2021 ACGME residency application cycle.
This represented a significant departure from traditional in-person neurosurgical interviews.

Purpose of the Study:

To assess applicant and faculty satisfaction with virtual interviews in neurosurgery residency applications.
To understand the perceived benefits and drawbacks of virtual versus in-person interviews.

Main Methods:

Online surveys were distributed to 116 U.S. neurosurgery training programs (faculty) and 255 neurosurgery applicants.
Data from 171 faculty and 118 applicant responses were analyzed using qualitative and quantitative methods.

Main Results:

34.7% of applicants reported satisfaction with the virtual interview process.
44.5% of faculty disagreed with replacing in-person interviews, yet 57.3% were likely to implement virtual interviews in the future.

Conclusions:

Virtual interviews offer distinct advantages, though some aspects may be better evaluated in person.
Further research is needed to optimize the use of virtual interviews in future residency application cycles.
