Using 5 interviewers and 10 interviewees consisting of senior neurosurgery residents and fourth-year medical students, respectively, we authors devised 2 models using the Zoom platform (Zoom Inc., San Jose, California, USA) to simulate the interviews ( Figure 1 ). The "static model" followed the traditional on-site interview structure, in which the interviewees rotate through several rooms meeting with different interviewers for w10 minutes each. The goal of our simulation was to find a model that would give applicants the most natural feel and allowing interviewers an adequate opportunity to assess their prospective residents. They reported that the dynamic model provided smoother transitions, allowed the applicants to be more comfortable, and gave participants a more natural feel.	./cache/cord-317965-pini4eqw.txt	./txt/cord-317965-pini4eqw.txt
