Neoformalismus/Kognitivismus

Wohl kaum ein filmanalytischer Ansatz veranschaulicht in seiner (Rezeptions-)Historie die Wechselwirkungen von Theorie-, Film- und Mediengeschichte, diskursiven Konjunkturen und fachdisziplinären Positionierungen wie der filmwissenschaftliche Neoformalismus und Kognitivismus. Der vorliegende Beitrag skizziert zentrale Aspekte, die das neoformalistisch und kognitivistisch geprägte Feld der Filmanalyse als ein Set von Praktiken und als Standardrepertoire des Faches definieren – geprägt von methodischen Debatten, bewussten Referenzen an bestimmte Denktraditionen sowie von jüngeren Aktualisierungsstrategien

Perceptions of a virtual interview process for pharmacy residents during the COVID-19 pandemic: A multisite survey of residency candidates, preceptors, and residency program directors

PurposeTo describe the perceptions of residency candidates, residency practitioners (current residents and preceptors), and residency program directors (RPDs) regarding a virtual interview process for pharmacy residency programs across multiple institutions.MethodsIn May 2021, an anonymous web-based questionnaire characterizing perceptions of the virtual interview process used during the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic was distributed to residency candidates, residency practitioners, and RPDs across 13 institutions. Quantitative responses measured on a 5-point Likert scale were summarized with descriptive statistics, and open-ended questions were analyzed using thematic qualitative methods.Results236 residency candidates and 253 residency practitioners/RPDs completed the questionnaire, yielding response rates of 27.8% (236 of 848), and 38.1% (253 of 663), respectively. Overall, both groups perceived the virtual interview format positively. When asked whether virtual interviews should replace in-person interviews moving forward, 60.0% (18 of 30) of RPDs indicated they agreed or strongly agreed, whereas only 30.5% (61 of 200) of current preceptors/residents and 28.7% (66 of 230) of residency candidates agreed or strongly agreed. Thematic analysis of qualitative responses revealed that while virtual interviews were easier logistically, the lack of in-person interactions was a common concern for many stakeholders. Lastly, the majority (65.0%) of residency candidates reported greater than $1,000 in savings with virtual interviews.ConclusionVirtual interviews offered logistical and financial benefits. The majority of RPDs were in favor of offering virtual interviews to replace in-person interviews, whereas the majority of residency candidates and practitioners preferred on-site interviews. As restrictions persist with the ongoing pandemic, our results provide insight into best practices for virtual pharmacy residency interviews
