OK! Here goes nothing. My first ever #tweetorial on the Coordinated Interview Release process for #Match2021.
This will be broken up into five parts:
1) What
2) Why
3) Who
4) How
5) Alternatives

Starting with WHAT. What is a coordinated interview release?
A coordinated interview release
https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="đ¨" title="Eingehender Umschlag" aria-label="Emoji: Eingehender Umschlag"> is when numerous residency programs (ideally all programs*) agree to send out their interview invites on the same pre-determined day (or time frame) to applicants.

*It& #39;s important to note that programs are constrained by factors out of their control â especially this year with #COVID19 & the coordinated release process being new for most specialties. Those who could not participate this year should in no way be viewed negatively.https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="đ" title="Quadratisches OK" aria-label="Emoji: Quadratisches OK">!!

Now that weâve talked about WHAT a coordinated release is, letâs get into the WHY.
But first, why do YOU think some specialties have decided to offer this?

In truth, itâs probably a mix of all four responses with a few other nuanced reasons Iâve undoubtedly missed.

Next letâs talk about WHO.
Numerous specialties have begun to adopt the coordinated interview release process in some format, including (adoption year):

Each program, however, has decided to do it a little differently. Here comes the HOW. Grouped by the amount of time given between coordinated invite date & the start of scheduling.
48 hours or ~ 2 days (*=over a weekend):
ObGyn, Uro*, Plastic Surgery*, Ortho
5 days:
Derm

Weâll go in order of release date. Starting with #UroTwitter, which released on 11/6/20.
Uro is used to forging its own path â even having an entirely different match date than most 2021 medical school grads (2/1/21, incase you are curious). Here are the @UroAcademic recs:

Next was #ObGynTwitter on 11/10/20. This wasnât their first rodeo.
They were 1 of 2 specialties that piloted the coordinated interview release process last year & this year, even with #CoVID19, they came out of the gate ready to go with a plan from @apgonews:

Today, 11/23/20, is #OrthoTwitterâs release date. #Ortho is new to the game, but you wouldnât know it.
Only a handful of programs have already released interviews with most of them seeming to be waiting until the coordinated release date today. Here are the @aoa1887 recs:

This week is also the #DermTwitter coordinated release which spans 11/24-11/25.
Just over 60 programs agreed to participate this year, with many others expressing support, but unable to join due to time constraints. Here are the @ProfsofDerm recs:

Finally, #PlasticSurgery will release on 12/4/20. They, like #ObGynTwitter, are entering their second year of the coordinated interview release process.
Besides pushing back the release date, nothing has changed from the 2019 @ACAPSedu recs:

And last, are the alternatives to the coordinated interview release date, including: signaling, interview/application caps, and so many more. Best described by Hammoud, Standiford & @jbcarmody in their @JAMA_current article on #COVID19 and #Match2021: https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jama/fullarticle/2766944">https://jamanetwork.com/journals/...

This year @AAOHNS rolled out a signaling platform for #ENT: https://opdo-hns.org/mpage/signaling .">https://opdo-hns.org/mpage/sig...
Applicants could âsignalâ 5 programs, but NOT their home program.
Institutions were told NOT to use signals as a screening tool, but only to use them during the interview offer phase...

Thus far, there is no consensus or concrete data on how specifically each program is using signals & how successful signals have been.
HOWEVER, the process is based on other successful programs used in economics ( @AEAjournals) & other spheres.

Interview & application caps have been floated around by notable #MedEd folks including @ilanarosman, @jbcarmody & many others as a feasible way to ensure applicants & programs know who is MOST interested in who.
So far, no specialty has tried thisâŚbut 2020 showed us:
