Abstract
- To evaluate the availability and breadth of information provided by program-created pediatric otolaryngology fellowship websites as well as the American Society of Pediatric Otolaryngology (ASPO) program directory. Program-created pediatric otolaryngology fellowship websites and the ASPO directory were evaluated for 16 key criteria deemed to be relevant to fellowship applicants. All 36 ACGME-accredited pediatric otolaryngology fellowship programs had websites that were readily available by Google search, and the ASPO program directory contained direct links to 17 (47.2 %) program-created websites. On average, program-created websites fulfilled 6.9 (43.1 %, range 1–11) and the ASPO directory fulfilled 6.9 (43.1 %, range 3–11) of the 16 key criteria. When utilizing both resources, the average increased to 8.3 (51.2 %) - criteria included program description (94.4 %), location description (30.4 %), fellowship director contact information (94.4 %), program coordinator contact information (72.2 %), teaching responsibilities (68.6 %), call responsibilities/schedule (41.7 %), operative volume (80 %), breadth of surgical exposure (94.4 %), research opportunities (72.2 %), research expectations (63.9 %), current fellow(s) (42.9 %), post-fellowship placement (28.6 %), fellow clinic (28.6 %), medical missions/outreach (20 %), and resident coverage (36.1 %). Pediatric otolaryngology fellowship websites as well as program-specific data sheets from ASPO lack many key criteria that would otherwise be valuable to applicants. Inclusion of these criteria could help applicants make a more well-informed decision when applying into pediatric otolaryngology fellowship. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
