Jordão MA, Freitag MSB. Medical and multidisciplinary residency training during the Covid-19 pandemic from the perspective of residents. Interface (Botucatu). 2026; 30: e250102 DOI: https://doi.org/10.1590/interface.250102
Abstract
This study analyzed the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on experiential learning among medical and multidisciplinary residents, drawing on Kolb’s experimental learning theory. We aimed to understand the influences of the Covid-19 pandemic on the experiential learning process among medical and multiprofessional residents. We conducted a qualitative study with 13 residents. The data were collected using interviews, organized using Atlas TI and analyzed using content analysis. The results suggest that the pandemic redirected learning from specialties to emergency care, highlighting gaps in training for crisis scenarios. Our findings underscore the need to restructure health education and training, ensuring practical experiences in specialist areas and time for reflection, thus promoting better preparation for future emergencies.
