The COVID-19 pandemic (Coronavirus Disease 2019) has affected residencies training around the world. In the light of responses to the pandemic, many medical residencies are being forced to reorganize their rotations. These changes include a reduction in the operating room and outpatient care training, and the cancellation of some activities such as visits to the wards, simulation sessions, among others. In consequence of the COVID-19 pandemic, the training of medical residents in gynecology and obstetrics is in a troublesome situation. Aside from the significant concern with the safety, physical, and mental health of preceptors and residents, educational aspects must be considered. The readjustment of programs regarding the minimum number of procedures and scenarios that enable the acquisition of the skills and attitudes provided for in the Competency Framework in Gynecology and Obstetrics10 must be performed by each program, respecting the future regulations of the CNRM. At this moment, the innovation and adaptability of those involved will stand out and transform the gynecology and obstetrics training in Brazil. The FEBRASGO National Specialized Commission on Medical Residency reiterates its commitment to assist and guide preceptors and supervisors in the process of training and assessing medical residents during the COVID-19 pandemic.
