The COVID-19 pandemic has substantially changed the practice of medicine with a shift to virtual clinical encounters, alternative management of surgical diseases owing to restrictions on elective operations, and physician redeployment to other medical services requiring coverage. These changes may limit opportunities for trainees to gain surgical expertise and have the potential to drastically affect postgraduate surgical education. However, the pandemic has also created a number of opportunities to navigate these challenges and enhance how surgical education is delivered. For example, there are now more learning opportunities available to trainees because of virtual educational sessions. We highlight some considerations in adapting postgraduate surgical training to achieve competency in the CanMEDS roles in the COVID-19 era.
COVID-19 大流行极大地改变了医学实践，虚拟临床就诊、由于限制择期手术而改变手术疾病的管理、以及医生重新部署到其他需要覆盖的医疗服务，这些都限制了受训者获得外科专业知识的机会，并有可能极大地影响研究生外科教育。然而，大流行也创造了许多应对这些挑战的机会，并改善了外科教育的实施方式。例如，由于虚拟教育课程，现在为受训者提供了更多的学习机会。我们强调了一些考虑因素，以适应研究生外科培训，以在 COVID-19 时代实现 CanMEDS 角色的能力。
