“…We retained 13 documents for scoping review according to prede ned inclusion criteria. Three were articles,5 short or special communications and the rest editorials and perspectives (See Table 3 below) Nine documents have reported on resident sta ng and safety amid COVID-19 (6,(10)(11)(12)(13)(14)(16)(17)(18).…”

“…Reorganizing residents sta ng to ensure health and safety during the pandemics is a priority. Besides residents must be trained in infection prevention in a clinical setting including appropriate use of personal protective equipment (PPE) and personal hygiene (16,20). This training can be conducted online via different virtual platforms (10,11,20).…”

“…This training can be conducted online via different virtual platforms (10,11,20). Many recommend creating social media platforms communications such as Twitter, Instagram, and Slack to keep residents and staff stay in communication with each other to ease fear and anxiety about the pandemic (16,17). Crosby and Sharma on Otolaryngology residency training recommended virtual sessions for social connectedness to help residents suffering from the added mental tax of worrying about not only their own safety, but also for the safety of family, friends, colleagues, and patients (17).…”

“…Most of the resident sta ng techniques amid COVID-19 involves signi cantly reducing the number of residents staying in hospital by dividing them into two groups and rotating every 1-2 weeks. One group involved in clinical service(active inpatient or on service group) and the other group will stay at home remotely providing tele supervision, consultation, and arrange different virtual teaching programs (6,(11)(12)(13)(16)(17)(18). Naser et al reported experience of restructuring of general surgery residents during pandemics into three exclusive groups (inpatient, operative, and clinic) rotating weekly to practice appropriate physical distancing and reduce the possibility of transmission among residents (14).…”

Introduction: The impact of Covid-19 on the healthcare system and training is tremendous and unpredictable. In addition to service re-organization, teaching institutions will have to devise adaptive mechanisms to cope up with the disruption in medical education and residency training.Objective: to review available adaptive residency training approaches and management of resident work force in different residency programs amid Covid-19 pandemicMethods and materials: We searched for websites of different professional associations and international or national specialty accreditation institutions. We looked for English studies (any form), reviews or editorials, perspectives, short or special communications, and position papers on residency education during the COVID-19 pandemic. Additionally, we searched: MEDLINE, EMBASE, and Google Scholar using keywords. Data extraction was done by two independent reviewers using a customized tool that was developed to record the key information of the source that’s relevant to the review question. The difference between the two authors on data extraction was resolved by discussion.Results: We identified 13 documents reporting on residency education during pandemics. Three were articles,5 short or special communications, and the rest editorials and perspectives. We divided the data obtained into six thematic areas: resident staffing, clinical education, surgical education, didactic teaching, research activity, and accreditation process.Conclusions: Residency programs must reorganize the resident's staffing and provide appropriate training to ensure the health and safety of residents during the pandemics. There are feasible adaptive approaches of maintaining residency trainings in the domains of didactic teaching, clinical education and some research activities. Although some innovative virtual surgical skills training methods are implemented in limited surgical residency disciplines, their effectiveness is not well examined. Guidance and flexibility of the accreditation bodies in ensuring competency of residents is one component of the response to the Covid-19 pandemic.

“…This has been also re ected in different residency programs in the US which suspended research activities. But Some residency programs are using adaptive means of maintaining residency research undertakings notably through Video enabled virtual research meetings and encouraging residents working from home (nonclinical resident) [9,13,14,16]. This might give also an important opportunity for residents to conduct studies COVID-19.…”

Background: The impact of Covid-19 on healthcare system and trainings has been tremendous and unpredictable. In addition to service re-organization, teaching institutions will have to devise adaptive mechanisms to cope up with the disruption in medical education and residency training. Objectives: to assess the effect of Covid-19 pandemic on obstetrics and gynecology residency program and explore residents’ & program directors’ perspectives on alternative academic approaches in Ethiopia.Methods: This is a cross sectional mixed method study which was conducted at 12 institutions engaged in obstetrics and gynecology residency training in Ethiopia from May to June 2020. Quantitative data were collected from 240 residents employing an online platform (Google Forms) and focus group discussion was conducted using the ZOOM video-conferencing platform with eleven chief residents and eight program directors. Quantitative data analysis was performed using Stata 15 statistical software while thematic synthesis approach was used for the qualitative data analysis assisted by ATLAS.ti 7 for windows. Ethical clearance was obtained from IRB of Saint Paul’s Hospital Millennium Medical College. Results: All levels of residents from all residency sites were represented. The level of residents’ engagement in various routine clinical services vary depending on the type of service during COVID-19 pandemic period. Residents’ involvement in routine ANC, high risk clinics are “slightly” reduced while in Gynecology OPDs, the reduction was “severe”. There was no effort made to address the psychological impact of the pandemic on residents. The level of reduction in didactic and clinical teaching (rounds, case presentations, seminars, management sessions ranged from “some” to “complete interruption” for most of the residents at different years of training. Although the reduction in obstetric practical exposure (normal delivery, cesarean delivery) was “slight”, there was “sever” reduction to “complete suppression” (>80%) in major gynecologic surgeries primarily affecting final year residents. Research activities are completely halted in most of the institutions. Generally, adaptive methods to sustain the residency training were implemented in very few of the institutions. Conclusions: There was significant disruption in all domains of the residency training following the report of the first case of COVID-19 in Ethiopia. The preparedness and response of the programs was very poor and there was limited effort in implementing adaptive teaching methods in almost all of the institutions.

Radiologische Assistentenfortbildung während der COVID-19-Pandemie

et al. 2022

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

ZusammenfassungKontaktbeschränkungen und Abstandsregeln haben die klinische Weiterbildung vor große Herausforderungen gestellt. Innovative und interaktive Konzepte sind notwendig, um die Weiterbildung auch in Zeiten von Corona aufrechtzuerhalten. In der aktuellen Literatur sind Lehrkonzepte für Ärztinnen und Ärzte in der Facharztweiterbildung jedoch unterrepräsentiert. In dieser Arbeit wird ein onlinebasiertes Fortbildungskonzept in der Radiologie vorgestellt, das die klassische Fallvorstellung in ein dreiphasiges, interaktives Lernmodell umgestaltet. Dieses besteht aus einer selbstständigen Fallbearbeitung mit Anknüpfung an bestehendes Wissen, gefolgt von einer Falldiskussion und gezielten Fragen sowie Feedback durch die teilnehmenden Oberärztinnen und Oberärzte. Nach 12 Monaten erfolgte eine fragebogenbasierte Evaluation durch die Weiterbildungsassistentinnen und -assistenten. Hierbei zeigte sich, dass eine deutliche Mehrheit der Teilnehmerinnen und Teilnehmer das Fortbildungskonzept positiv hinsichtlich seines Schweregrades, der Repräsentativität für die klinische Tätigkeit sowie der Relevanz für den Facharzt bewerteten. Ebenso ergaben sich Erkenntnisse hinsichtlich der zukünftigen Gestaltung des Konzepts in Bezug auf Dauer, Modalität der zu besprechenden Bildgebungsverfahren und Häufigkeit. Alle Befragten gaben an, vom Format profitiert zu haben. Onlinebasierte Fortbildungskonzepte können demnach einen relevanten Beitrag zur Weiterbildung von Assistenzärztinnen und -ärzten leisten und stellen eine adäquate Alternative bzw. Erweiterung analoger Fortbildungskonzepte dar.
