ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT

We performed a cost estimation of dermatology residency applications prior to COVID-19 pandemic restrictions (2016-2020) and during the COVID-19 pandemic (2021) and surveyed dermatology programme directors to assess the impact of virtual interviews. We found that COVID-19 virtual interviews significantly reduced the cost of applications. We understand that the changes forced by the pandemic were challenging and not ideal; however, the online aspect of interviews provided a way for applicants to save a significant amount of money.
