Abstract

COVID-19 has necessitated a rapid shift to the remote delivery of medical education. We present a timely collection of tips, techniques, and strategies for the facilitation of remote teaching sessions and modification of curriculum design, assessment, and evaluation. We step through Kern's six-step curriculum design, recommending to (1) consider session necessity and a variety of teaching models; (2) inform your session with surveys and polls; (3) keep session endpoints consistent; (4) make the most of technology and translate in-person strategies to virtual forms; (5) engage with individual learners and eliminate distractions; and (6) consider online methods of assessment and evaluation methods.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
