To bring up which was the surgical resident's perception about their learning experience during COVID-19 pandemic and if it interfered or not with their classes. Cross-sectional observational study through an anonymous survey conducted among surgical residents. The Mexican Association of General Surgery, through its Women in Surgery Committee, created a questionnaire that included 40 questions. 465 participants were included in the survey: 225 women (48.3%), 240 men (51.7%); of 32 entities, only 26 participated. A great part of them said their skills and abilities were affected because elective surgeries were called off. While 303 residents stayed at hybrid hospitals, while a third of them were at 100% Covid facilities. Residents who were on call worked at COVID-19 units. They continued attending class through online platforms and only 134 were able to practice their skills using simulators. 71% of the residents were infected with COVID-19, all were tested to confirm it, and the number of asymptomatic cases was unknown. COVID-19 pandemic has affected the learning process of surgical residents in Mexico.
