ABSTRACT
In March 2020, the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) outbreak was declared as a pandemic by the World Health Organization. The COVID-19 breached the Taiwanese government's defense, and the Central Epidemic Command Center (CECC) announced a Nationwide Level 3 Alert on May 19, 2021. In summary, the residency training has been affected as follows less exposure to elective surgeries and decreased training time. In the COVID-19 pandemic era, both my life and career as a surgical resident have been deeply affected. Worries, anxiety, and fear about insufficient training, unfulfilled career development, and unknown future have been prevalent daily. However, surgeons have always managed to confront and overcome difficulties and challenges with courage and fearlessness. Hence, it is also important that we face the COVID-19 pandemic situation and adapt wisely.
