SANCHEZ, Sebastián y ARIZA, Aníbal. Surgical education in Colombia in the era of COVID-19. rev. colomb. cir. [online]. 2020, vol.35, n.2, pp.250-255. ISSN 2011-7582. https://doi.org/10.30944/20117582.631.
Coronavirus-2 disease in a short time has managed to turn on the alarms of systems healthcare worldwide. In addition to the economic, health, political, cultural, and social implications, it has changed the lives of human beings including how medical graduate programs are developed.
Multiple scientific communities around the world have expressed the need to defer elective surgical procedures and prioritize patient care over teaching, which could decrease the exposure of general surgery residents to surgical opportunities essential to their learning.
In response to this, the authors present this article where the role of virtual education and simulation are discussed as possible responses to the educational difficulty represented by the COVID-19 pandemic.
