Abstract
Registrar training has traditionally relied on achieving practical workplace-based competencies together with the theoretical knowledge necessary to
obtain a specialist qualification. However, in the last year, the healthcare setting has been transformed into a landscape of overworked staff, increased
patient care demands and strained resources. In the face of these challenges, the registrar training programme finds itself in peril. The present article
focuses on the adverse effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on the education and training of registrars in South Africa.
