The influence of the COVID-19 outbreak on European trainees in obstetrics and gynaecology: A survey of the impact on training and trainee.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate how the obstetrics and gynaecology residency program and trainees have been affected by the Corona Virus Disease-19 (COVID-19) pandemic in Europe. ⋯ COVID-19 pandemic has had a tremendous effect on the ObGyn training in Europe. Exposure to learning opportunities, surgeries and teaching has been decreased during the outbreak and may result in a decrease in quality of care provided to women in the future if impairment of training is not recovered.

EBCOG position statement - Simulation-based training for obstetrics and gynaecology during the COVID-19 pandemic.
The specialty of Obstetrics and Gynaecology has been on the forefront of introducing simulation in post graduate education for the past two decades. Simulation training is known to enhance psychomotor skills and is considered an important step in the transition from classroom learning to clinical practice. Training on simulators allows trainees to acquire basic skills before getting involved in day to day care in real life situations. Clinical circumstances around the COVID 19 pandemic have highlighted the key importance of simulation training in delivering post graduate curriculum.
