Abstract

Abstract Lockdown, quarantine, self-isolation, personal protection equipment, social distancing have become words of daily usage ever since the world health organisation declared COVID-19 as a pandemic. The impact of COVID 19 extends over the medical field, economy, education and politics. Though the knowledge of the virus is evolving, we are yet to find a solution. India, country with the 2nd largest population, went into a phase of lockdown from 25th March 2020 to 31st May 2020. There was phased measure to “Unlock” starting from1st June 2020. This has affected the clinical practise and training of the resident. The challenges faced during this unprecedented time are multi-faceted which includes overcrowding, health care system, educational background. Indian Association of Cardiovascular-Thoracic Surgeons kept continuing the educational program through a series of “Masterclass”.
