Title
Teaching in the context of a pandemic: a faculty development activity supporting clinician-teachers
Length of Presentation
Background/Purpose
COVID-19 has changed the practice of clinician-teachers and has put barriers to traditional bedside or operation room teaching methods. Challenges lie in maintaining clinical exposure while ensuring students' safety. Our faculty development program has developed an online course based on best practices in clinical supervision adapted to the pandemic to support the needs of our teachers. We aimed to assess the satisfaction of our teachers and applicability of the suggested modified teaching methods in their practice.
Summary of the Innovation
A one-hour, pre-recorded faculty training course was available to all Université de Montréal teachers. The topics covered were: orientation of students/residents, use of telemedicine, clinical supervision and rounds, teaching procedural skills, and well-being. Participants were invited to answer a mixed methods questionnaire after completing the course. Descriptive statistics and thematic analysis were carried out.
Of the 47 participants who took part in the training, 25 responded to the survey (25/47: 53%). Twenty-three participants (92%) stated that they had achieved the main objectives of training. The majority of participants (23/25; 92%) reported that the different strategies discussed could be applied in their practice and several reported the intention to apply these strategies.
Conclusion
A one-hour online course on suggested alternative and modified teaching methods to implement during the pandemic was a relevant and appreciated course for our faculty. The majority of participants reported that these methods were easily transposed to their teaching practice.
