COVID-19 pandemic-related adaptations of medical education in clinical pharmacology - impact on students and lecturers at a German university.

ABSTRACT: In medical studies, pharmacology is a subject with a high teaching and study load. The COVID-19 pandemic-related switch to distance learning implies challenges for students and teachers. To identify changes of behavior, attitudes, and needs among students and teachers in clinical pharmacology during the pandemic, regular surveys were conducted at Ulm University, Germany. Overall, 884 students and 5 teachers answered the survey. Over time, students' usage of learning materials in print form and further literature (textbooks, guidelines) constantly decreased.

Attitudes and opinions of students and teachers significantly differed regarding (i) the benefit of certain teaching formats and learning materials
