RESUMEN
CONTEXT: The reform of the third cycle of medical studies in France has introduced of the "Junior Doctor" status during the concluding year of residency. We wish to evaluate its implementation for the first promotion of medical oncology residents during 2021-2022 in correlation with the published guidelines. METHOD: AERIO conducted a cross-sectional study among French medical oncology residents. The survey was released via social networks and emails. RESULTS: Twenty-eight of 47 residents responded. The typical week involved one to two half-days of consultation, one dedicated to clinical research, one multidisciplinary team meetings, with the rest of time being occupied by day care (mostly) and hospitalization. Teaching and quality management activities were infrequent (monthly or less). The Junior Doctors rated their overall satisfaction at 8/10. A large majority (92.5 %) felt equipped to handle most of the situations they encountered. Almost all residents (92.9 %) had negotiated with their placement supervisor prior to the selection procedure. In one third of the cases (35.7 %), the principle of mismatch between the number of residents and the number of training sites was not respected. Only 42.9 % received training in scientific writing and 82.2 % of the residents agreed on the relevance of the post-internship training modules developed in other specialties. CONCLUSIONS: Junior doctors in medical oncology express overall satisfaction with this reform, which aligns with the recommendations. Nevertheless, certain concerns, such as selection procedure and inadequacy, along with areas requiring improvement, such as post-internship training and scientific writing, are clearly established.

BACKGROUND: COVID-19 pandemic troubled hospital and university's organization. Previous study showed oncology resident's formation has been impacted by pandemic. One year later, we aimed to evaluate the state of oncology resident's formation. METHODS: We conducted a transversal study written by AERIO and SJRO, released via social networks and mail to the French oncology residents. RESULTS: One hundred and sixty-four residents answered. Sixty-four (39%) were male and 99 (60.4%) were female, mean age was 26.8 years old, mean semester was 5.7. One hundred and five (64%) were medical oncologist and 53 (32.3%) were radiation oncologist. One hundred and forty residents (85.4%) had lectures during hospital internships, mainly in cancer center (77.1%) and academic hospitals (60.7%). One hundred and twenty-one residents (73.8%) had specialized diploma lectures, in 34.7% of case monthly. Respectively 42.7% and 18.3% of residents could access to their formation's day respectively rarely and never. Strengths of oncology residency were scientific dynamism (91.9%), clinical breadth (82%) and knowledge renewal (78.9%). Attractivity's obstacles to the residency were psychological arduousness (64%), administrative burden (48.2%) and too important worktime (47%). CONCLUSION: This survey shows the state of play of French oncology residency's formation at the end of 2021.
