ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND: The purpose of our study was to evaluate the perceptions of clinical faculty while working with medical students in a novel setting of virtual care following the COVID-19 pandemic.

ACTIVITY: A survey of faculty, fellows, and residents was conducted to assess educators' perceptions of virtual teaching before trying it and after 3 months of experience.

RESULTS: Perceived effectiveness of teaching students acute care significantly improved as did perceived effectiveness of teaching chronic care.

DISCUSSION: We anticipate that continued experience and comfort with virtual platforms would boost this perception further, allowing faculty development to be honed for optimal teaching in this new paradigm.
