Remote online teaching beyond COVID-19 pandemic: a qualitative study across Physiotherapy programs in Italy.

ABSTRACT:

Background

With the lockdown imposed by the Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, remote online teaching (ROT) became pivotal in the rapid reorganization imposed on the healthcare professions' educational programs. Physiotherapy programs were particularly affected, as they are characterized by hard and soft skills that are hardly learned with ROT. The purpose of the present study was to investigate the experiences and opinions on ROT by faculties involved in the education and training of Physiotherapy students during the pandemic, and on its possible application thereafter.

Methods

Following accreditated checklists for qualitative research, semi-structured interviews were conducted by members of the National Directorate of the Physiotherapy programs in Italy. Academi
