Training Our Future Doctors During the Pandemic | Dr. Neil Gesundheit
Medical Education has been impacted by Covid-19. Hands-on medicine has been largely switched to online where physical examination has been severely restricted.
Doctors had to be innovative in eliciting physical findings with the help of the patients when doing telemedicine. Decisions are made with very limited data. Conveying compassion, empathy and nonverbal cues when clinicians’ faces are covered by masks and face shields is a major challenge to the doctor-patient encounter.
Students have been so patient and flexible as they struggle to learn the art and science of clinical assessment. Isolation and inability to socialize with peers continue to impact their mental health as well.
This episode highlights the changes in medical education and shares students’ experiences. Listen as Dr. Neil Gesundheit discusses the rapid shift in medical education during the pandemic, as well as the new ways to teach, learn and practice medicine.
Memorable Quotes:
- How long this pandemic will last is uncertain. An even more important question is its impact on our lives. - Dr. Jette Gabiola
- Each of these pivots requires emotional and physical energy. Flexibility but not laxity is our goal. You can’t meet in person with students without an academic purpose… not even their experiences in med school. And it’s creating this climate of isolation because of the need to keep everyone safe. And I think that’s been the biggest challenge. - Dr. Neil Gesundheit
