Foundational Telemedicine Workshop for First-Year Medical Students Developed During a Pandemic.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

In response to the COVID-19 pandemic and the need for social distancing, medical education curricula across the country had to be quickly transitioned from in-person experiences to remote sessions. Simultaneously, use of telemedicine in clinical practice skyrocketed. Despite telemedicine expansion and the opportunity afforded to teach these skills virtually, many institutions lacked telemedicine curricula.

Methods

We developed and evaluated a foundational telemedicine workshop during a pandemic (158 students in 28 groups) guided by principles to maximize learner engagement during remote learning, including use of discrete, time-limited activities (self-assessment, templated group exercises, review of brief multimedia, and active role-play.).
