Interviewing For Residency as an LGBTQ+ Applicant : Compounded Problems With Virtual Interviewing

Copyright © 2021 Association of Program Directors in Surgery. Published by Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved..

Applying to and interviewing for residency positions can be challenging tasks for LGBTQ+ applicants. Resident and faculty surgeons have expressed challenges in disclosing their sexual orientation and/or gender identity throughout the recruitment process. Discrimination and lack of LGBTQ+ inclusion in the recruitment process may have been exacerbated by virtual interviews in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. The authors describe their experiences interviewing virtually for academic general surgery programs, and academic and university-affiliated/community residency programs as LGBTQ+ applicants. Several recommendations are offered to help reduce LGBTQ+ discrimination and to help make institutions more inclusive with the overall aim of making resident recruitment more inclusive for LGBTQ+ applicants.
