Implications of COVID-19 pandemic on Family Medicine Residency training program and ACGME requirements in Qatar. World Family Medicine. 2020; 18(9): 58-60 DOI: 10.5742/MEWFM.2020.93856

Introduction


Disasters like Covid-19 pandemic can turn into opportunities for sustainable development. From the family medicine training perspective while responding to the most urgent needs as a front-line staff facing the unpredictable pandemic, one must take advantage of all opportunities for change to achieve the desired goals and sustainable recovery. It is a continuous dynamic multi-dimensional process through the efficient use of the best available resources.

Qatar reported its first Qatari case of Covid-19 coming from Iran on February 29, 2020, and 2 weeks later the first cluster had emerged. The state of Qatar, through Hamad Medical Corporation, has developed the system wide incident command committee, SWICC, to manage the crisis in the country. Family medicine residents were allocated to provide direct patient care along with the other residents as front-line staff to manage the situation.
