Annotation. The article presents the data of an original study to assess the impact of the pandemic of the new coronavirus infection COVID-19 on the training of clinical residents in the specialty "obstetrics and gynecology". Changes in workload, opportunities for theoretical and practical training, personal safety, psychological and emotional overload contributed to the inability to adapt and continue professional training. The restoration of professional training, including with the widespread use and improvement of distance learning techniques and simulation training opportunities, should help to increase the adaptive potential and preserve the health of a young doctor.
