As part of an ongoing international study exploring how medical learners have been impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. We feel this is an important and timely study to conduct so that we can learn from and with each other moving forward.

This voluntary, anonymous survey takes approximately 5-10 minutes. All data will be analyzed in aggregate. This has been reviewed and approved by our research ethics board (File #20-0484). 

Thus far, we have over 2000 responses from over 80 countries. We have had the survey translated into numerous languages (options available on the top right corner of the first page), including Italian, to be more inclusive of learners around the world.

PLEASE FORWARD THIS SURVEY LINK TO MEDICAL STUDENTS AND RESIDENTS IN ITALY:

Feel free to contact myself or my co-investigator Dr. Kachra with any questions.
