Brief Summary:

The educational process of general surgery residents is a very important step in every surgeon's career, which is often overlooked or neglected. The Covid-19 pandemic has inflicted deep changes in the medical activity in general and in the training process of young doctors in particular.

The responses of resident doctors at a questionnaire, in two different time periods, will be compared: pre-Covid era (December 2019) and Covid era (December 2020).
