Note: Projected PCI volume reported by fellows if pandemic‐related restrictions remain in place until the end of training, as stratified by gender, age, geographic region, size of program, re‐deployment to non‐IC roles, and whether fellows believed the pandemic would affect procedural competency. A total of 22 fellows (29%) reported that they would not reach 250 PCI by the end of training if Covid‐19 pandemic related restrictions remained in place while 54 fellows (71%) reported that they would complete >250 PCI. Stratified by gender, 29% of both men and women reported that they would not achieve 250 PCI with no significant association between gender and PCI volume (p = .973). There was no significant association between age (p = .153), geographic region (p = .664), size of program (p = .859), redeployment status (p = .742), and fellows' perception of the impact of the pandemic on competency (p = .336).
