ABSTRACT

Introduction: The COVID-19 pandemic required a drastic restructuring of health care services and personnel. Medical postgraduate education programs are affected, giving priority to the care of patients infected with COVID-19. Objective: To measure the satisfaction of surgical specialty residents during the restructuring of educational curriculum during residency training and summarize, as well, the changes made by international institutions with education programs like ours. Materials and methods: We designed a satisfaction survey, taken anonymously by the residents in our institution. Results: Results show that 66% of the residents accepted the changes as satisfactory. The time dedicated to individual study also increased. Nonetheless, most residents feel a decrease in quality educational content and exposure to surgical procedures. Conclusions: During the COVID-19 pandemic the online models are useful to continue medical education, but certain areas such as operating theatre exposure are still lacking.
