The Impact of the First COVID-19 Wave on European Vascular Education.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Public health was severely affected by the first wave of the COVID-19 pandemic, imposing major daily life changes across the world, including health services that had to restructure significantly.

Report

Considering the potential side effects on the quality of vascular training, a digital survey (Survey Monkey®) was developed and submitted to vascular trainees from 7 July to 20 September 2020 through European mailing lists and social media platforms. The aim was to evaluate the standpoint of vascular education across Europe during the first wave of the COVID-19 pandemic and to identify possible measures to mitigate the negative effects on vascular trainees. A total of 104 answers across 27 European countries were received. The mean age of the responders was 31.2
