Medical model in Spain is carried out through the specialized training system. The aim of this study is to analyze the opinion of the Medical Interns in Residency (MIR) of the Autonomous Community of Navarra in three areas: consequences derived from COVID-19, training program and future job prospects among last-year residents. Cross-sectional observational study using a voluntary and anonymous online survey, shared interns from Navarra, carried out between April-May 2021. A total of 228 responses were recorded from 553 MIR residents in Navarra. Seventy-eight percent of the residents have carried out some activity related to the COVID, with 97% of them appreciating some degree of deterioration in their training and 96% having suffered a negative emotional impact. 68% would like to continue working at the same center at the end of their training period, with 79% considering the recruitment system to be inadequate. The COVID-19 pandemic has impaired the training of MIRs, altering teaching itineraries, rotations, reducing surgeries and generating a negative emotional impact. Most of the residents have carried out activities related to COVID-19, although most of them consider that it is not necessary to extend their training time. Most residents would like to continue working at the center where they have been trained, although this demand is not matched by the supply available after completing this training period. In addition, recruitment method has little support from the residents. El modelo de especialización médica en España se realiza a través del sistema de formación sanitaria especializada (FSE). El objetivo es analizar la opinión de los Médicos Internos Residentes (MIR) de la Comunidad Foral de Navarra en tres áreas: consecuencias derivadas del COVID-19, aspectos formativos y perspectivas laborales entre los residentes de último año. Estudio observacional transversal tipo encuesta online, voluntaria y anónima, distribuida entre los MIR de Navarra, realizada en abril y mayo de 2021. Se registraron un total de 228 respuestas de los 553 residentes MIR de Navarra. El 78% de los residentes han desarrollado alguna actividad relacionada con el COVID, apreciando un 97% algún grado de deterioro en la formación y un 96% ha sufrido un impacto emocional negativo. El 68% querría continuar trabajando en el mismo centro al acabar el periodo de formación, con un 79% que considera que el sistema de contratación no es el adecuado. La pandemia COVID-19 ha perjudicado la formación de los MIR, alterando los itinerarios docentes, rotaciones, reduciendo quirófanos, generando un impacto negativo emocional. Gran parte de los residentes ha desarrollado actividades relacionadas con el COVID-19 aunque la mayoría consideran que no es necesario ampliar el tiempo de formación. La mayor parte de residentes querrían continuar trabajando en el centro donde se han formado, sin ser equiparable esta demanda con la oferta disponible tras finalizar esta etapa formativa. Además, el método de contratación cuenta con poco respaldo por parte de los residentes.
