cord-324396-91v7uxnd	Jaumdally, Hannah	Commentary on ‘inimical effects of COVID-19 on surgical residency: Correspondence’	2020-10-05		.txt	text/plain	824	54	52	The authors highlight several limitations to residency training including: facilities and equipment, whereby some countries may not have access to adequate animal models, simulations or cadavers to practice first hand; impact on research with reduced sample sizes and less people consenting to research; changes to learning with teaching reduced to case reports and seminars, reduced learning opportunities for junior residents in both the operating theatre and the subsequent management of surgical patients; changes to hospital processes including cancellation of elective procedures, less people attending an operating theatre at one time to reduce risk of transmission, the redeployment of surgical trainees onto COVID-related wards and the difficulties surrounding the use of personal protective equipment (PPE). Overall, we wholeheartedly agree with the authors on the potential negative consequences that the COVID-19 pandemic may have on the surgical speciality and it's trainees and by extension, the repercussions on medical students, as we have identified.	./cache/cord-324396-91v7uxnd.txt	./txt/cord-324396-91v7uxnd.txt
