Abstract

COVID-19 altered medical education formats due to social distancing requirements.  In our program, residents rated distance learning at least as effective as traditional teaching models, faculty reported high satisfaction with resident education, and both groups reported that residents were engaged during distance learning.  The majority of residents and faculty recommended a hybrid model for future resident education.
