Distance Learning During the COVID-19 Lockdown and Self-Assessed Competency Development Among Radiology Residents in China: Cross-Sectional Survey.

ABSTRACT:

Background

During the COVID-19 lockdown, it was difficult for residency training programs to conduct on-site, hands-on training. Distance learning, as an alternative to in-person training, could serve as a viable option during this challenging period, but few studies have assessed its role.

Objective

This study aims to investigate the impact of distance learning during the lockdown on residents' self-assessed competency development and to explore the moderating effect of poor mental health on the associations. It is hypothesized that radiology residents who were trained through distance learning during the lockdown were more likely to report higher self-assessed competency compared to those who did not receive organized, formal training.
