The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has put considerable physical and emotional strain on frontline healthcare workers. Among frontline healthcare workers, physician trainees represent a unique group-functioning simultaneously as both learners and caregivers and experiencing considerable challenges during the pandemic. However, we have a limited understanding regarding the emotional effects and vulnerability experienced by trainees during the pandemic.

Design: Retrospective cohort study.
Setting: Single medical institution.
Objective: We sought to identify risk factors for attrition among obstetrics and gynecology residents.
Study Design: We analyzed 2001-2006 American Medical Association Graduate Medical Education (GME) Census data for all residents who entered obstetrics and gynecology in 2001 to characterize residents who did not complete a 4-year training period in their initial programs ("attrition"). Multivariable logistic regression models identified predictors of attrition from among age, gender, race, Hispanic ethnicity, medical school type, and medical school graduation year.
Objective: We compared demographic characteristics of first-year residents entering obstetrics/gynecology with those entering primary care and surgery.
Study Design: We analyzed first-year residents from the 1997-2004 National Graduate Medical Education Census. Multivariable logistic regression models identified independent associations between obstetrics/gynecology residency (compared with primary care and surgery) and demographic predictor variables.
Objective: We sought to identify predictors of obstetrics and gynecology (OBGYN) specialty choice among US medical graduates over time.
Study Design: We examined OBGYN specialty choice for its association with 16 items on the 1997, 2000, and 2004 AAMC Graduation Questionnaire (GQ). Multivariate logistic regression identified independent predictors of OBGYN specialty choice for each year.
Objective: The objective of our study was to determine the accuracy of gynecology residents' colposcopic impressions.
Methods: A retrospective review of colposcopic examinations was performed. Colposcopic impressions were compared to cervical biopsy and the results stratified by level of residency training.
