Virtual International Conference on Medical Education in the Pandemic Part 1: COVID-19 and Residency Training
The COVID-19 pandemic has caused a disruption in the training of doctors and other health professionals. The times call for “all-hands-on-deck” to quell the increase and spread of COVID-19. At the same time, other medical and surgical conditions are delayed and or may be unserved due to the additional precautions needed to contain infections in health facilities. It is necessary to address the pandemic; but it is equally important to continue to produce medical professionals who are skilled and equipped to do more than just respond to COVID-19.
As part of continuing efforts to protect the frontline against the backdrop of rising numbers of COVID-19 infections in the community, and as part of the STOP COVID DEATHS Webinar Series, this Virtual International Conference on Medical Education in the Pandemic is a first in a series of special webinar events to jump start an initiative to address the challenges of training doctors against the backdrop of COVID-19.
