How Has COVID-19 Affected Healthcare Education?
Conventional face-to-face tutorials, workshops and conferences have to be cancelled or shifted online to ensure the safety of our educators and learners. Despite the disruptions and adjustments to modify traditional teaching sessions and training schedules, our educators rose to the challenge by innovating and re-shaping the way they teach to ensure that our learners remain engaged in learning.
Reshaping the Way We Teach During COVID-19
The inaugural AMEI Teachers’ Day Webinar on 25 September 2020 saw a strong attendance of close to 300 passionate healthcare educators and learners. The speakers, who represent the breadth of health professions across the SingHealth Duke-NUS AMC, shared their experiences on finding new ways to teach and overcoming challenges posed by the COVID-19 pandemic.
The vibrant discussions allowed the passionate educators in our midst to reflect on some of the unique opportunities that the pandemic has presented as we learn from one another to navigate through these trying times. Together, we can advance healthcare education for better patient care!
