Introducing a Remote Pre-graduate Medical Education Curriculum Planning Workshop During the COVID-19 Pandemic

Purpose To conduct a thorough online workshop on infection control under COVID-19 and to conduct a questionnaire survey on the online workshop. Objective The Tokai University School of Medicine has held 39 workshops to acquire the curriculum planning ability required as a faculty member of the School of Medicine. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, this year (2020) we were unable to hold a workshop. Therefore, we attempted an online workshop using Zoom. Methods To shorten the amount of time required for the workshop, we excluded some content that was used the previous year. The day passed without any major problems, and both the participants and the individuals in charge of the workshop filled out a questionnaire at the end of the day. Results Conclusion: Online workshops appear to be a very useful tool in terms of infection control under the COVID-19 pandemic.
