Can we provide effective distance learning instead of traditional one in medical education?
Lots of universities already do this with recorded lectures, and universities are offering online exams now because of the coronavirus. I think it is possible to provide effective distance learning but there'll be negatives eg lack of student participation etc.
Assessment in the time of Covid-19 may be changed to online MCQs and Short-Answer Questions. Also universities are using Online portfolios, and Work-place Assessment online.
I think the main issue here is to focus on the learning outcomes and do not let such changes get you away from the program/course learning outcomes.
The following is an editorial accepted for publication in the journal medical education in Spanish, which is indexed in Scopus, Scielo and MEDES, and is the body of expression of the Ibero-American Forum for Medical Education (FIAEM). I share this to encourage debate on the changes and adaptations that medical education must have in times of pandemic, and the lessons we must have in the face of post-pandemic medical education.
