Abstract

The coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic has caused disruption and uncertainty for junior medical doctor training and education. This has compounded the existing stress experienced by this cohort. However, by choosing appropriate educational models, as well as using novel educational approaches and advancing our online technology capabilities, we may be able to provide acceptable and even, superior solutions for educational training moving forward, as well as promote trainee wellbeing during these uncertain times.
