摘要
ObjectivesApplicants for rhinology fellowship often utilize program websites to make informed application decisions. Although the American Rhinologic Society (ARS), the professional organization of rhinologists in the United States, maintains a directory of rhinology fellowships that includes basic information for each program, the ARS discloses that the information is provided directly by program directors and may therefore be inconsistent, inaccurate, or outdated.MethodsOur study evaluates the content and comprehensiveness of rhinology fellowship program websites in 31 areas related to either clinical training, research, application process, incentives, or administrative communications.ResultsOf 32 unique rhinology fellowship programs, 29 of 32 (90.6%) had websites. On average program websites included 12.1 of the 31 items analyzed (39.0%). Information related to clinical training (mean 54.2%) and research (mean 60.9%) was included more often than information related to application process (mean 50.6%), and incentives (mean 14.9%). Programs with \documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$\ge$$\end{document} 5 dedicated physician faculty included more items than smaller programs (15.3 vs. 11.7 items, P = 0.015).ConclusionWebsites included information on clinical training and research more often than on incentives, even though these factors are important to many applicants. Few programs detailed past or ongoing research opportunities, which if included could help applicants identify mentors with similar research interests. Most websites had less than half of factors analyzed, emphasizing need for continued improvement.
