The COVID-19 pandemic has engendered rapid and significant changes in patient
care. Within the realm of surgical training, the resultant reduction in clinical
exposure and case volume jeopardizes the quality of surgical training. Thus, our
general surgery residency program proceeded to develop a tailored approach to
training that mitigates impact on resident surgical education and optimizes
clinical exposure without compromising safety. Residents were engaged directly in
planning efforts to craft a response to the pandemic. Following the elimination
of elective cases, the in-house resident complement was effectively decreased to
reduce unnecessary exposure, with a back-up pool to address unanticipated
absences and needs. Personal protective equipment availability and supply, the
greatest concern to residents, has remained adequate, while being utilized
according to current guidelines. Interested residents were given the opportunity
to work in designated COVID ICUs on a volunteer basis. With the decrease in
operative volume and clinical duties, we shifted our educational focus to an
intensive didactic schedule using a teleconferencing platform and targeted areas
of weakness on prior in-service exams. We also highlighted critical COVID-19
literature in a weekly journal club to better understand this novel disease and
its effect on surgical practice. The long-term impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on
resident education remains to be seen. Success may be achieved with commitment to
constant needs assessment in the changing landscape of healthcare with the goal
of producing a skilled surgical workforce for public service.
