How do we teach surgical residents in the COVID-19 era?	2020-06-11		.txt	text/plain	891	70	47	OBJECTIVE: In response to ongoing concerns regarding transmission of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19), surgical practice has changed for the foreseeable future. Practice guidelines recommend only urgent or emergent surgical procedures be performed to minimize viral transmission. This effectively limits standard training and practice for surgical residents. The purpose of this article is to describe opportunities in surgical simulation, and highlights the challenges associated with training in the COVID-19 era. CONCLUSIONS: This manuscript concisely discusses simulation options available to training programs, including the novel concept of "surgical kits." These kits include all instruments necessary to simulate a procedure at home, effectively pairing safety and utility. 3 In light of these concerns, surgical simulation appears to offer utility of both safety and procedural training for the surgical resident. In an effort to address current limitations on procedural education in our otolaryngology program, we have designed "simulation kits" to be distributed to otolaryngology junior residents.	./cache/cord-330940-ee63wosv.txt	./txt/cord-330940-ee63wosv.txt
