Takeaways: The Continued Shift to Virtual Residency Interviews: Dr. Flannery explores why many residency programs have stuck with virtual interviews post-pandemic, weighing the financial and logistical benefits for applicants. Cost Savings for Applicants: Virtual interviews alleviate the significant financial burden of in-person interviews, which often require flights, hotels, and transportation, saving applicants thousands of dollars. The Drawbacks of Going Virtual: While virtual interviews offer convenience, Dr. Flannery acknowledges the challenges applicants face in gauging a program’s culture and the city’s lifestyle without visiting in person. Top Impractical Movie Glasses: From Morpheus’s clip-on glasses to Scrooge McDuck’s floating specs, Dr. Flannery shares his picks for the five most impractical eyewear choices in cinema.
