“…It is anticipated that these residents may graduate and become specialist/consultant without achieving proficiency in essential surgical procedures. 18 Similar finding has been brought out during our survey where 55% participants don't feel competent enough to work independently after PG completion.…”

The study was aimed to evaluate the impact of COVID-19 on postgraduate teaching and learning amongst candidates pursuing higher qualification in orthopaedics, in the Delhi-National Capital Region in India. Design: An online cross-sectional survey of 29 questions was circulated amongst postgraduate students pursuing higher orthopaedics degree to evaluate (i) Impact on PG teaching (ii) Impact on surgical training (iii) Impact on Dissertation (iv) Future implications on PG training programme (v) Mental wellbeing. Results: 138 (77.5) PG trainees contributed in the survey, and 65.1% of them stated that no clinical classes are being held presently. The majority (94%) confirmed that COVID-19 has affected their surgical and clinical training. A large number (71.6%) had problems in completing their dissertations and 96% had concerns about mental health. Conclusion: COVID-19 pandemic has severely disrupted the education and training of the Orthopaedic PG students, in Delhi-NCR region and perhaps elsewhere similarly too. The Government and Teaching organisations should take serious consideration of the plights of PGs and devise satisfactory mechanisms to overcome their problems and provide reasonable solutions also.

The Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has caused an unprecedented disruption in medical education and healthcare systems worldwide. The disease can cause life-threatening conditions and it presents challenges for medical education, as instructors must deliver lectures safely, while ensuring the integrity and continuity of the medical education process. It is therefore important to assess the usability of online learning methods, and to determine their feasibility and adequacy for medical students. We aimed to provide an overview of the situation experienced by medical students during the COVID-19 pandemic, and to determine the knowledge, attitudes, and practices of medical students regarding electronic medical education. A cross-sectional survey was conducted with medical students from more than 13 medical schools in Libya. A paper-based and online survey was conducted using email and social media. The survey requested demographic and socioeconomic information, as well as information related to medical online learning and electronic devices; medical education status during the COVID-19 pandemic; mental health assessments; and e-learning knowledge, attitudes, and practices. A total of 3,348 valid questionnaires were retrieved. Most respondents (64.7%) disagreed that e-learning could be implemented easily in Libya. While 54.1% of the respondents agreed that interactive discussion is achievable by means of e-learning. However, only 21.1% agreed that e-learning could be used for clinical aspects, as compared with 54.8% who disagreed with this statement and 24% who were neutral. Only 27.7% of the respondents had participated in online medical educational programs during the COVID-19 pandemic, while 65% reported using the internet for participating in study groups and discussions. There is no vaccine for COVID-19 yet. As such, the pandemic will undeniably continue to disrupt medical education and training. As we face the prospect of a second wave of virus transmission, we must take certain measures and make changes to minimize the effects of the COVID-19 outbreak on medical education and on the progression of training. The time for change is now, and there should be support and enthusiasm for providing valid solutions to reduce this disruption, such as online training and virtual clinical experience. These measures could then be followed by hands-on experience that is provided in a safe environment.

“…8 If this paradigm shift continues for too long, the residents may lose skills in managing a broad range of oral pathologies. 9 The reduced patient load has affected the demonstration of many clinical skills in all specialisations as reflected in this survey. This could be combatted with the use of card cases, simulation of the cases for clinical discussions and demonstration of procedures on extracted teeth and typhodonts.…”

The Coronavirus pandemic has affected all walks of life in an unprecedented manner and in order to curb the spread of the same the government imposed a stringent lockdown. This led to profound effects on the education and training of medical programmes including dentistry. The study was conducted as a cross sectional online survey circulated among dental post graduate students in Karnataka, India. This study assesses the impact of COVID-19 on the dental post graduate training programme considering various factors like impact on teaching, training, dissertation, various problems and difficulties faced by the residents and reasons for stress induced among them. It also addresses suggestions which would help in alleviation of the problems. The Government must ensure that the concerned teaching organisations should take the required measures in order to relieve the residents of the various problems faced and provide rational solutions for the same.
