Official Title
Educational Interventions to Integrate Surgical Staff Within Medical Units During the COVID-19 Pandemic: EDUCOVID Cross-sectional, E-survey
Brief Summary

The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic required a rapid surge of healthcare capacity to face a growing number of critically ill patients. For this reason, a support reserve of physicians, including surgeons, were required to be reassigned to offer support. Given the time shortage for trainers and trainees, time and cost-efficient programs to gain maximal benefit from short rotations for several physicians at one time are required 8. In case of pandemics, blending face-to-face education to e-learning seems sustainable, with online resources being scalable and more cost effective than other methods 9.

Detailed Description

The aim of this study was to realize a survey on the educational programs (hospital based or
web-based), during the COVID-19 pandemic, and their impact on behavior change, satisfaction
and knowledge of the target population of surgeons.
