“…It corroborates findings from Europe, where OBGYN residents experienced reduced surgical training and teaching, leading to concerns about the quality of patient care [15]. Work by Harzif et al, also complements this by examining the psychological impact (i.e., anxiety, depression, and psychological trauma) of the pandemic on Indonesian OBGYN residents [16]. Additionally, a cross-sectional survey by Winkle et al, delved into if residents' self-reported experiences of burnout and other issues, such as depression, binge drinking, and drug use, vary according to their personal activities, including hobbies [17].…”

Background The COVID-19 pandemic has left no one untouched. Resident trainees have been driven to reconsider virtually every component of their daily lives. The purpose of this pilot study is to evaluate the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on Obstetrics and Gynecology (OBGYN) residency training and education. Methods A cross-sectional pilot study was conducted between 2/2022 and 5/2022. A survey was created and distributed to OBGYN residents. The survey queried the effects of the pandemic on OBGYN residents’ procedure skills training and mental health. Results A total of 95 OBGYN residents across programs affiliated with each American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG) district participated in the survey. Among them, just over half (n = 52, 55%) self-identified as under-represented minorities. A significant majority, 80% (n = 81), felt their gynecological training was inadequate, with 70% of fourth-year residents expressing a lack of confidence in their ability to independently practice gynecology after graduation. This lack of confidence among fourth-year residents suggests a notable disparity in readiness for independent gynecological practice, linked to meeting ACGME requirements before completing their residency (p = 0.013). Among the residents who reported a negative impact of the pandemic on their mental health (n = 76, 80%), about 40% (n = 31) had contemplated self-harm or knew a colleague who considered or attempted suicide (p < 0.001). This issue was especially pronounced in residents experiencing burnout (n = 44, 46%), as nearly half (n = 19, 43%) reported suicidal thoughts or knew someone in their program who had such thoughts or engaged in self-harm (p = 0.048). Conclusions Residents expressed concerns about reduced hands-on gynecological training and doubts about their readiness for independent practice post-residency, highlighting the need for enhanced support through mentorship and revised training curriculums. Additionally, despite the availability of mental health resources to address pandemic-induced burnout, their underuse suggests a need for more accessible time for residents to use at their discretion and flexible training schedules that encourage mental health support resource utilization.

“…Despite the chaos caused by the pandemic, there always have been beneficial lessons learned, and these should always be remembered. Globally, many specific medical courses have been reported to be affected by COVID, e.g., obstetrics and gynecology [34], neurosurgery [35], orthopedics [36], ophthalmology [37], Anatomy [38], and of course there are many others publication that we have not had the chance to explore in detail via the internet. however, to the best of our knowledge, this is the first publication on the impact of COVID on Microbiology exam result for medical students.…”

Aims: To study the impact of COVID on Microbiology examination result, and analyze it further based on the gender and place of residence. Methods: Simple analysis conducted cross-sectionally based on the comparison of the result of final Microbiology exam result based on the student’s gender and place of residence. Data classified by the class of 2018 (Pre-COVID), 2019 (initial COVID) and 2020 (prolonged COVID). Results: There is a pattern of decreasing exam scores, both in theory and practicum, when compared to exam results before COVID (class of 2018), during the initial of the COVID pandemic (class of 2019) and 1 year after COVID became a pandemic but not yet fully controlled (class of 2020). Conclusion: COVID caused direct impact to medical education, in our context to Microbiology examination result.
