I think we are stuck with them for the long haul, personally, although my personal preference is in person. At least in the FM residency world, some programs are doing some virtual + some in person, or virtual interviews + in person second look, but every one I know of is doing at least some virtual. The relevant specialty organizations are really pushing for continued exclusively virtual interviews due to the equity issues mentioned by
@PathNeuroIMorFM above. And that's even considering that FM interviews are more accessible than most as they tend to cover lodging, food, transportation, etc. while you're in town. I can certainly see the benefit of virtual interviews for candidates who are struggling financially or have home/family responsibilities that are difficult to leave. It's also much, much less money and effort for our program to do virtual interviews.
Just on the small sample size of candidates I have met over zoom initially and later in person or vice versa, I think a fairly observant interviewer can still get a decent sense of the je ne sais quoi of an applicant. I'm sure there are some outliers but in my experience the people who seemed anxious or quiet or bubbly on a zoom call were still anxious or quiet or bubbly IRL.
