PURPOSE: Opportunities for graduating oral and maxillofacial surgery residents to pursue fellowship training are expanding. However, there is a paucity of information in the literature for prospective applicants in our specialty. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the accessibility and content of oral and maxillofacial surgery fellowship program websites (FPWs).
METHODS: The authors designed a cross-sectional study including oral and maxillofacial surgery fellowship programs in North America listed on 4 major websites: 1) The American Association of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons, 2) The American Academy of Craniomaxillofacial Surgeons Match, 3) The American Dental Association, and 4) The American Academy of Cosmetic Surgery. The existence and accessibility of stand-alone FPWs from these listings were assessed. Content scores were generated based on the presence or absence of 23 content variables related to program characteristics, fellow recruitment, and fellow education on listings and available webpages. Descriptive and bivariate statistics were used to evaluate the relationship between predictor variables and content scores.
RESULTS: A total of 44 fellowship programs were included. Of these fellowships, 26 (59.1%) had a stand-alone FPW. The mean content score was 10.8 ± 4.82 out of a maximum of 23. Content scores were significantly greater for head and neck oncology fellowships (P ≤ .001), programs with a stand-alone FPW (P ≤ .001), and Commission on Dental Accreditation-accredited programs (P = .046). Programs with a stand-alone FPW had content scores 1.87 times greater than those without and was the predictor variable with the greatest mean difference between groups. There was no significant difference in content scores with respect to geographic region.
CONCLUSIONS: Oral and maxillofacial surgery FPWs demonstrate deficiencies in content areas relevant to prospective applicants. Optimizing the content of FPWs may represent an opportunity to better inform and recruit graduating residents into fellowship programs.
