General surgey is a specialty of high demand and relevance. We aimed to collect the opinions of the residents and their tutors and heads of department, regarding the impact that this COVID-19 pandemic is having - and will probably have - on the training of future general surgeons in Peru.
We conducted a cross-sectional study in Lima, Peru. We surveyed residents of general surgery, as well as their tutors and heads of surgery departments from 14 Peruvian hospitals.
The impact of COVID-19 was considered severe in approximately 60% of first-year residents, 100% of second-year residents, 40% of third-year residents and about 80% of attending physicians. The 68.8% of the residents considered that the loss of surgical training opportunities during the pandemic would negatively affect their job performance. In addition, as of 03/16/2020, no residents had performed more than 25 elective surgeries, trauma surgeries or laparoscopic procedures. All the participants (including tutors and heads of departments) highlighted the need to extend the residency period.
The COVID-19 pandemic has affected the training of the general surgery residents. Deficiencies need to be identified in order to evaluate extending the period of the medical residency program in Peru.
普通外科是一个需求高且相关性强的专业。我们旨在收集住院医师及其导师和科室主任对于2019冠状病毒病大流行正在产生以及可能对秘鲁未来普通外科医生培训产生的影响的看法。
我们在秘鲁利马进行了一项横断面研究。我们调查了普通外科住院医师以及来自秘鲁14家医院的他们的导师和外科科室主任。
约60%的一年级住院医师、100%的二年级住院医师、40%的三年级住院医师和约80%的主治医师认为2019冠状病毒病的影响严重。68.8%的住院医师认为大流行期间手术培训机会的丧失会对他们的工作表现产生负面影响。此外，截至2020年3月16日，没有住院医师完成超过25例择期手术、创伤手术或腹腔镜手术。所有参与者（包括导师和科室主任）都强调需要延长住院医师培训期。
