Surgical training & COVID-19 ESCP survey
The COVID-19 pandemic has affected surgical training worldwide. We would appreciate a few minutes of your time to answer this survey created by the ESCP Education committee in collaboration with the Guidelines committee. We would like to know how your training has been affected by the pandemic, the use of alternative educational resources during the crisis and your perspective on the future of surgical training. This survey will aid on finding future directions of surgical training using the experience gained through the COVID-19 crisis.

Thanks very much for participating.
