The COVID-19 pandemic has reduced clinical volume with a negative impact on trainee education.
Survey study of Otolaryngology trainees in North America, during the COVID-19 pandemic in April 2020.
Of 216 respondents who accessed the survey, 175 (83%) completed the survey. Respondents reported a universal decrease in clinical activities (98.3%). Among participants who felt their program utilized technology well, there were significantly decreased concerns to receiving adequate educational knowledge (29.6% vs 65.2%, P = .003). However, 68% of trainees still expressed concern in ability to receive adequate surgical training. In addition, 54.7% of senior trainees felt that the pandemic had a negative impact on their ability to secure a job or fellowship after training.
Trainees universally felt a negative impact due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Use of technology was able to alleviate some concerns in gaining adequate educational knowledge, but decreased surgical training remained the most prevalent concern.
COVID-19 大流行导致临床工作量减少,对学员教育产生负面影响。
对北美耳鼻喉科住院医师在 2020 年 4 月 COVID-19 大流行期间进行的调查研究。
在 216 名访问调查的受访者中,有 175 名(83%)完成了调查。受访者报告称,临床活动普遍减少(98.3%)。在那些认为自己的项目很好地利用了技术的参与者中,对获得足够教育知识的担忧明显减少(29.6%对 65.2%,P =.003)。然而,仍有 68%的住院医师对接受足够的外科培训表示担忧。此外,54.7%的高年级住院医师认为大流行对他们在培训后获得工作或奖学金的能力产生了负面影响。
住院医师普遍因 COVID-19 大流行而感到负面影响。技术的使用能够缓解获得足够教育知识方面的一些担忧,但外科培训的减少仍然是最普遍的担忧。
