“…As previous literature demonstrated, the COVID-19 pandemic had significant impacts on resident wellness. 8,[12][13][14] The current study further supports this as the fear of unnecessarily exposing others to the COVID-19 virus weighed on many and created a sense of isolation. This was compounded by in person lectures being moved to a virtual format, lack of in person social gatherings, mandatory quarantines, home backup platooning, or having rotations canceled.…”

“…7 This includes some residents believing the decrease in patient care negatively impacted their procedural and clinical skills. 8 A study by Rana et al found that senior residents (≥PGY-3) felt the pandemic was more disruptive on residency training when compared to junior residents (PGY-1 and PGY-2). They hypothesized this may be because seniors lost opportunities to perform certain tasks more independently while juniors have more time to make up for any lost experiences.…”

OBJECTIVES Our objective was to understand the perspectives of current and recently graduated pediatric residents concerning the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, and subsequent curriculum changes, to their education. INTRODUCTION Residency programs have experienced unprecedented alterations to education in the form of changing expectations, schedules, and opportunities during the COVID-19 pandemic. Little is known regarding resident perceptions of how these changes impact their education and ultimate career preparation. METHODS An anonymous and voluntary electronic IRB exempt survey was sent to pediatric residents at a mid-sized residency program in the mid-Atlantic in August of 2020. This cross-sectional study survey consisted of a series of multiple choice questions with optional short answer responses. RESULTS Twenty-two pediatric residents across all training years completed the survey for a response rate of 36%. The majority of residents, 59.1%, were interested in directly caring for COVID + patients; however, the minority (36%) felt prepared to care for COVID + patients. Most residents (63%) responded that graduate medical education programs should not have authority to exclude residents from taking care of patients with certain diagnoses and 95% of respondents indicated that they would prefer an opt out system instead. CONCLUSION The majority of resident respondents had a strong interest in caring for COVID + patients and report that they value frequent updates from program leadership to guide their patient care. Residents also overwhelmingly support an opt out system when caring for future patients with particular infectious diagnoses rather than a mandated exclusion approach.

“…To the Editor: The COVID-19 pandemic has had a considerable impact on dermatologic care and experiences for dermatology trainees. Survey data suggest that reduced procedural exposure was one of the greatest difficulties faced by dermatology trainees during the pandemic, 1 which is important given the frequent need for skin procedures for dermatologic conditions and the finite length of dermatology training to regain these exposures. We aimed to better quantify procedural services performed by dermatology trainees at a national level throughout the pandemic.…”

This study explores international faculty members’ resilience and the active challenges to establishing coping mechanisms while facing a mental health crisis provoked by the Delta and Omicron lockdowns in China. Grounded in a qualitative approach, this study used a transcendental phenomenological methodology to examine 16 international faculty members affiliated with higher education institutions in Shanghai, Hangzhou, and Nanjing. The findings showed that participants had various mental health issues amid snap lockdowns and persistent nucleic acid application tests. They perceived the most influential sources of coping mechanisms to be (a) social and emotional support; (b) prosocial behavior; and (c) engagement with the public and social services alongside the domestic faculty members. This study emphasizes the significance of collective resilience and prosocial behaviors, calling on future scholars to pay more attention to the host group’s cultural values and community resilience as coping mechanisms during the public health crisis provoked by the pandemic.
