理由和目标：2019冠状病毒病大流行迫使医疗环境快速演变。通过保持社会距离和颁布居家隔离令来缓解病毒传播的努力，对放射科的临床和教育任务以及心理健康产生了意想不到的后果。我们试图了解COVID-19大流行对放射科住院医师的影响，包括教育使命和对福祉影响的看法。材料和方法：本研究获得IRB豁免。关于COVID-19大流行对住院医师的教育和临床任务的影响、对放射科医生和培训生士气的影响以及对此设计的创新解决方案的疑问，一项22个问题的匿名调查通过电子邮件发送给了放射学会员项目主任协会。调查数据使用SurveyMonkey （San Mateo, California）收集。结果：受访者认为COVID-19大流行对他们的住院医师计划产生了负面影响。关于教育使命的影响，70.1%（75/107）表示有中度/明显的负面影响，2.8%（3/107）表示教育活动已停止。关于疫情对居民士气的影响，44.8%（48/107）认为有中度/明显的负面影响；有57.1%（12/21）的受访者表示，在重新部署的项目中，居民的士气明显下降。绝大多数答复者报告说，在大流行急性期，居民有充分的机会获得精神卫生资源（88.8%,95/107）。关于项目主管的士气，61%（65/106）的人报告士气轻微或明显下降。项目主管报告的项目创新被编目并分享。结论：2019冠状病毒病大流行显著影响了美国放射学住院医师项目的幸福感和教育使命。
Rationale and Objectives: The COVID-19 pandemic has forced rapid evolution of the healthcare environment. Efforts to mitigate the spread of the virus through social distancing and shelter-at-home edicts have unintended consequences upon clinical and educational missions and mental well-being of radiology departments. We sought to understand the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on radiology residencies with respect to the educational mission and perceptions of impact on well-being.Materials and Methods: This study was IRB exempt. An anonymous 22 question survey regarding the impact of COVID-19 pandemic on educational and clinical missions of residencies, its perceived impact upon morale of radiologists and trainees and a query of innovative solutions devised in response, was emailed to the Association of Program Directors in Radiology membership. Survey data were collected using SurveyMonkey (San Mateo, California).Results: Respondents felt the COVID-19 pandemic has negatively impacted their residency programs. Regarding the educational mission impact, 70.1% (75/107) report moderate/marked negative impact and 2.8%(3/107) that educational activities have ceased. Regarding the pandemic's impact on resident morale, 44.8% (48/107) perceive moderate/marked negative effect; perceived resident morale in programs with redeployment is significantly worse with 57.1% (12/21) reporting moderate/marked decrease. Respondents overwhelmingly report adequate resident access to mental health resources during the acute phase of the pandemic (88.8%, 95/107). Regarding morale of program directors, 61% (65/106) report either mild or marked decreased morale. Program innovations reported by program directors were catalogued and shared.Conclusion: The COVID-19 pandemic has markedly impacted the perceived well-being and educational missions of radiology residency programs across the United States.
