“…Because of the increasing number of patients with COVID-19 who require hospitalization, some radiology residents have been reassigned to internal medicine and ICU to care for the high influx of patients. 17 Similarly, almost half of the neurosurgery residents in our sample (48.1%) dealt directly with patients with COVID-19 in the previously mentioned settings. On the other hand, some neurosurgery residents might gain intensive care skills.…”

“…A study involving physicians caring for patients during epidemics 17 advised of possible alternatives to real patientephysician interaction to avoid placing trainees at risk. Less than half of the neurosurgery residents (46.2%) felt competent in caring for patients with COVID-19, and most of those who felt capable had already dealt with patients with COVID-19 ( Figure 4).…”

BACKGROUND: The novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19) is a life-threatening illness, which represents a challenge to all health care workers. Neurosurgeons worldwide are affected in different ways.-OBJECTIVE: This is the first study regarding the readiness of neurosurgery residents for the COVID-19 pandemic and its impact. The aim is to identify the level of knowledge and readiness and the impact of this virus among neurosurgery residents in different programs.-METHODS: A cross-sectional analysis was performed in which 52 neurosurgery residents from different centers were selected to complete a questionnaire-based survey. The questionnaire comprised 3 sections and 27 questions that ranged from knowledge to impact of the pandemic on various features.-RESULTS: The median knowledge score was 4 out of 5. The proportion of participants with a satisfactory level of knowledge was 60%. There was a statistically significant difference between the knowledge score and location of the program. Around 48% of the neurosurgery residents dealt directly with patients with COVID-19. Receiving a session about personal protective equipment was reported by 57.7%. Neurosurgery training at the hospital was affected. About 90% believed that this pandemic had influenced their mental health.-CONCLUSIONS: Neurosurgery residents have a relatively good knowledge about COVID-19. The location of the program was associated with knowledge level. Most participants did not receive sufficient training about personal protective equipment. Almost all responders agreed that their training at the hospital had been affected. Further studies are needed to study the impact of this pandemic on neurosurgery residents.

“…Given shortages of PPE, faculty and program directors should carefully consider the role of the interventional radiology (IR) trainee in the care of patients with COVID-19. Training programs must balance the risk to trainees versus the educational opportunity to participate in an IR procedure (2).…”

widely disrupting personal and professional life, including that of radiology trainees. Reducing the rate at which COVID-19 cases are diagnosed, so-called "flattening the curve," is a goal both for the public to alleviate strain on the healthcare system, and for healthcare providers to stabilize our workforce. As residents and fellows at multiple institutions throughout the country working in both diagnostic and interventional radiology, the authors of this report provide an overview of major problems that our colleagues and training programs currently face and offer some potential solutions (Figure). We hope this report may serve as a starting point for radiology training programs to proactively assess the impact of the current pandemic on their resident and fellow trainees.

“…Recent health and environmental crises have provided limited evidence on their disruptive effect on medical training in the US (1). The experience of a Canadian training program during the 2003 SARS epidemic demonstrated that there was fear and anxiety surrounding the potential risk of trainees acquiring SARS (2,3).…”

“…The Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME) published guidelines stating that all trainees should gain familiarity with the basic signs and symptoms of Ebola infection, receive training on proper safety protocols for all care settings, and only provide care for patients under direct supervision of attending physicians trained in treatment and infection control (4). Some have argued that residents should be expected to participate in disaster responses: "completely removing trainees from these situations can be detrimental to their overall experience and education" (1,5). As others have noted, "if we avoided all situations that we couldn't understand in advance and that posed any risk, we would spend our lives in a state of paralysis" (6).…”
