Abstract
Background The COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in various mitigation policy in pediatric residency
training worldwide, especially during peak outbreak. Any mitigation plan taken should take into consideration
the achievement of competency. A survey was conducted to evaluate resident perception on the mitigation
policy and the level of competence. Methods An online survey was conducted consisting of 6 questions
using the Likert scale technique (5 levels). Subjects were senior residents (SR) and alumni (AR) who
experienced COVID19 outbreak during training. Friedman test was performed between alumni and active
residents for perception on competency achievement (P<0.05). Results Overall response rate was 86.7%.
Most (95,6%) agreed that the mitigation plan was unavoidable. Resident safety and wellness as the main
factor for the mitigation plan was well accepted (98.6%). Approximately 84.1% are concerned of the impact
on their level of competence regarding the execution of the mitigation plan, showed by the confidence of
achieving competency ranging between 59.4% to 92.7% between the 14 divisions. Three divisions which
are directly involved in COVID-19 cases hold the highest confidence for achieving competency (88.4% to
92.7%). Friedman test showed that achievement competency was not statistically significant related to the
mitigation plan (P<0.05). Conclusions Mitigation plan was well approved by residents and alumni. The
level of confidence of achieving competency varied, with the best in divisions that are directly involved in
COVID-19 management. Mitigation plan did not affect competency achievement during training.
