Introduction: With the steady rise in interest in e-learning and the sudden boost provoked by the COVID-19 pandemic, it becomes necessary to explore the e-learning experience within the medical community in the MENA region. Methods: An online survey was conducted during the early phase of the COVID-19 pandemic (June 15 – October 15, 2020). Results: Seventy-eight vascular surgeons and trainees from 16 countries participated. 88% of the participants were male. 55% attended more than 4 activities. More than half of the activities did not lead to any official certification. Topic was the primary determinant for attending an activity. National societies and social media played a major role in disseminating activity-related information. Lack of time, increased workload, differences in time zone, and technical issues were the main obstacles cited. 84.7% of the participants had a positive impression. Conclusion: As the COVID-19 pandemic boosted e-learning activities in vascular surgery, a shift was observed in the learning mode and new leadership skills were called upon. Novel ways of quality control are required.

Summary: Background: The COVID-19 pandemic has changed everyday life and work in many ways. As travelling to meetings and conferences was almost completely suppressed for most of healthcare professionals, e-Learning became increasingly prominent. The overall utility of e-Learning during the COVID-19 pandemic as well as its shortcomings in the international community of vascular surgery were assessed through the EL-COVID study. Regional variability was observed amongst participating nations, which is currently being addressed through several ongoing subgroup analyses. Our study completes the aforementioned efforts and aims to investigate the adherence and adoption of vascular e-Learning in Germany. Methods and participants: Using an online survey, EL-COVID gathered answers from 856 vascular surgeons, of whom 70 were located in Germany. We analyzed the answers of 62 German responders that attended at least one e-Learning activity and compared them with the remaining worldwide data. Results: Out of all European countries, Germany was best represented and ranked second worldwide after Mainland China (n=109). 30.6 percent of the German responders were female (vs. 20% worldwide; p=0.048) and 56.4% were vascular surgeons with >5 years of practice (vs. 56.3; p=0.975). The international cohort generally engaged in more e-Learning. Most German participants attended less than 4 online activities, while only 24.2% took part in more than 4 such events (vs. 56.3; p<0.0001). While the overall impression of e-Learning activities during the COVID-19 pandemic was positive, German employers were less supportive of participation during working hours (30.6% vs. 44%; p=0.042). The main reason for not attending was lack of time due to increased workload (56.5% vs. 50%; p=0.328). National and international societies played a lesser role in promoting such activities in Germany (22.6% vs. 39.2%; p=0.010), the same accounts for social media (16.1 vs. 30.3; p=0.017). Conclusions: E-Learning complements the classical training methods and has been embraced as a relevant alternative in the time of the COVID-19 pandemic. The results of this survey appeal to German employers and national societies to improve support and dissemination of e-Learning activities in the vascular medicine community.
