Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The educational process of general surgery residents is a very important step in every surgeon's career, which is often overlooked or neglected. The Covid-19 pandemic has inflicted deep changes in the medical activity in general and in the training process of young doctors in particular.

Our study aims to assess the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on the educational process of general surgery residents, through a comparative study. The responses of resident doctors at a questionnaire, in two different time periods, will be compared: pre-Covid era (December 2019) and Covid era (December 2020).
