Objective:
To create a COVID-19 based educational curriculum for surgical residents.
Background Data:
The COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in disruptions to operative volume and clinical education for ...surgery residents. This has placed a greater importance on didactic education. However, in the face of pandemic-related uncertainty, focusing on a traditional educational curriculum may be a challenge for surgical residents.
Methods:
A dedicated resident educational team was created. This team identified specific surgical resident needs, evaluated institutional resources, created a curriculum and timeline, determined a feasible implementation format, and assessed resident opinions on the impact of the curriculum via anonymous survey.
Results:
A 1-month long COVID-19 based curriculum was developed, which covered (1) advanced critical care and resuscitation techniques pertinent to patients with COVID-19, (2) institutional physician experience in the COVID-units, (3) ethical dilemmas in resource management, (4) triaging of operative cases during the pandemic, and (5) published and ongoing COVID-19-related surgical research. In the postimplementation survey, a majority of residents reported that the curriculum helped improve their ability to take care of patients during the pandemic, provided an opportunity for questions, alleviated anxieties and concerns, and that they preferred the COVID-19 curriculum over traditional surgical topics.
Conclusions:
In the midst of national crisis and significant clinical disruption, real-time adjustments to surgical education can and should occur to address resident needs. The results of our study may serve as a blueprint for implementing rapid change to resident education in the future.

We present data collected with the HERA-B wire target which prove the existence of coasting beam at the HERA proton storage ring. The presented measurements show a strong evidence that the proton ...machine operation contribute to the coasting beam production, which seems to be not dominated by target impacts.
is a fixed target experiment working on the 920 GeV proton beam of the HERA accelerator at the DESY laboratory in Hamburg. During the last data taking period (2002-2003), about 150 million dilepton ...triggers, 220 million minimum bias events and 35 million hard photon triggers were acquired. These large statistics allow detailed studies on the production of charmonium states in proton-nucleus p-A collisions, which extend for the first time into the negative Feynman-x () region. Measurements of the inclusive , \(\Upsilon\) and open charm cross sections are also ongoing. After a brief discussion of the detector and of the data samples, we report on preliminary results obtained on these physics topics.
