The success of the learning curve in thoracic and cardiovascular surgery residents is determined by the circle of permanent and uninterrupted learning, articulated by 3 fundamental pillars: the theoretical component consisting mainly of the constant review of the medical literature and the periodic participation in clinicalsurgical conferences or gatherings led by mentor surgeons; the component of strengthening operational skills that allow the acquisition of procedural skills through training using simulation; and, finally, the practical component, in which the resident actively participates as an observer, assistant or main surgeon in various surgical procedures. Given the imminent negative impact on the learning curve of thoracic and cardiovascular surgery residents due to the COVID-19 pandemic, there is an urgent need to recondition a new multifaceted approach that allows for virtual surgical education.	./cache/cord-321459-5atonb89.txt	./txt/cord-321459-5atonb89.txt
