BACKGROUND: As the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic is expected to stay
for a longer time, educational activities including residency training have
gradually resumed with the aid of virtual tools. In addition to continuing the
residency education during COVID-19, it is also important to conduct their
examination so that the graduations of final year residents are not delayed. The
conventional exam pattern involved clinical case presentations and required
resident interaction with a number of patients. However, in view of the COVID-19
pandemic we conducted a "zero-patient contact virtual practical exit examination"
for orthopaedic residents. METHODS: In order to replicate the conventional exam
case-scenarios, clinical cases were prepared in a digital presentation format.
The candidate used N-95 facemasks and gloves, and adequate social distancing was
maintained in the examination area. We also designed a 10- item questionnaire
aimed at assessing the quality and satisfaction with the exam pattern. RESULTS:
The mean score for overall satisfaction with the virtual pattern was 4.5 (out of
5) in examiner group while it was 4.1 in examinee group. Higher scores were also
reported for questions related to safety of the exam, relevance and quality of
the virtual cases, etc. The mean total feedback score for the examiner and
examinee group was 48 and 43.4 respectively (out of 50). CONCLUSION: Orthopaedic
residency end-of-training examinations can be successfully conducted during the
COVID pandemic, and we hope our experience will be helpful to other residency
programs.
