The COVID-19 pandemic has disrupted graduate medical education, impacting Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME)-mandated didactics. We aimed to study the utility of 2 methods of virtual learning: the daily National Surgery Resident Lecture Series (NSRLS), and weekly "SCORE School" educational webinars designed around the Surgical Council on Resident Education (SCORE) curriculum.
NSRLS: The National Surgery Resident Lecture Series was a daily virtual educational session initially led by faculty at an individual surgical residency program. Thirty-eight lectures were assessed for number of live viewings (March 23, 2020-May 15, 2020).
Attendance at eleven weekly SCORE educational webinars was characterized into live and asynchronous viewings (May 13, 2020-August 5, 2020). Each 1-hour live webinar was produced by SCORE on a Wednesday evening and featured nationally recognized surgeon educators using an online platform that allowed for audience interaction.
NSRLS: There were a mean of 71 live viewers per NSRLS session (range 19-118). Participation began to decline in the final 2 weeks as elective case volumes increased, but sessions remained well-attended.
There were a range of 164-3889 live viewers per SCORE School session. Sessions have most commonly been viewed asynchronously (89.8% of viewings). Live viewership decreased as the academic year ended and then rebounded with the start of the new academic year (range 4.9%-27%). Overall, the eight webinars were viewed 11,135 times. Each webinar continues to be viewed a mean of 43 times a day (range 0-102). Overall, the eleven webinars have been viewed a total of 22,722 times.
Virtual didactics aimed at surgical residents are feasible, well-attended (both live and recorded), and have high levels of viewer engagement. We have observed that careful coordination of timing and topics is ideal. The ability for asynchronous viewing is particularly important for attendance. As the COVID-19 pandemic continues to disrupt healthcare systems, training programs must continue to adapt to education via virtual platforms.
COVID-19 大流行扰乱了住院医师规范化培训，影响了研究生医学教育认证委员会（ACGME）规定的教学。我们旨在研究两种虚拟学习方法的实用性：每日全国外科住院医师讲座系列（NSRLS）和每周围绕外科住院医师教育委员会（SCORE）课程设计的“ SCORE 学校”教育网络研讨会。
NSRLS：全国外科住院医师讲座系列是一项日常虚拟教育课程，最初由一个外科住院医师计划的教师领导。评估了 38 次讲座的实时观看次数（2020 年 3 月 23 日至 2020 年 5 月 15 日）。
SCORE 学校：参加十一次每周 SCORE 教育网络研讨会的情况分为实时和异步观看（2020 年 5 月 13 日至 2020 年 8 月 5 日）。每个 1 小时的实时网络研讨会均由 SCORE 在星期三晚上制作，并由全国知名的外科教育家使用允许观众互动的在线平台进行展示。
NSRLS：每次 NSRLS 会议的实时观看者平均为 71 人（范围为 19-118）。随着 elective 病例量的增加，参与度在最后两周开始下降，但会议仍吸引了大量观众。
SCORE 学校：每次 SCORE 学校会议的实时观看者人数范围为 164-3889 人。通常以异步方式观看会议（89.8％的观看次数）。随着学年结束，实时观看量下降，然后随着新学年的开始而反弹（范围为 4.9％-27％）。总体而言，八个网络研讨会已被观看了 11135 次。每个网络研讨会的平均每日观看次数为 43 次（范围为 0-102）。总体而言，这 11 个网络研讨会共被观看了 22722 次。
针对外科住院医师的虚拟教学是可行的，与会者众多（实时和记录），并且观众参与度很高。我们已经观察到，精心协调时间和主题是理想的。异步观看的能力对于出勤特别重要。随着 COVID-19 大流行继续扰乱医疗保健系统，培训计划必须继续通过虚拟平台进行教育。
