Impact of Covid-19 on Training for ENT and Cervico-Facial Surgery Residents in France

December 15, 2021 updated by: University Hospital, Strasbourg, France

Impact of Covid-19 on Training for Medical Residents Studying in ENT and Cervico-Facial Surgery Departments in France

The impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on medical education is real but little known.

ENT interns were directly affected by the management of Covid-19 patients (performing surgical tracheostomies), many conferences and trainings were cancelled, their usual hospital activity deeply reshuffled.

Although each student has a personal story of the impact of Covid-19 on their training, there is no doubt that the effects of Covid-19 are felt at scale. This study aims to investigate the effect of the pandemic on the medical and surgical training of ENT and Cervico-Facial Surgery interns in France from November 2019 to May 2021 (Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes, Grand Est, Ile de France, Nouvelle Aquitaine and Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur areas). A questionnaire will be sent by mail to ENT interns in France to assess the impact of Covid-19 on the training of ENT interns in France.
