Serving as one of the few training institutions of medical oncology in the Philippines, the University of the Philippines-Philippine General Hospital was faced with challenges brought by the coronavirus 2019 disease (COVID-19) pandemic. With the dismantling of routines and practices in the hospital, training activities such as daily rounds, conferences, and examinations were temporarily put on hold. Recognizing that the strength of any clinical training program is its wealth of patients, the immediate resumption of patient services, albeit limited at first, had been instrumental in ensuring the continuation of training in our institution. Opportunistic teaching-learning strategies between the faculty and fellows were devised. Innovative approaches to learning such as the use of online meeting platforms for division conferences, webinars, examinations, and other learning activities were initiated. Emphasis was given on the important considerations in the management of cancer patients during the COVID-19 pandemic. The emotional and psychological well-being of the faculty and fellows during this crisis were considered and a mental health assessment was conducted prior to the resumption of training activities.
作为菲律宾少数几家医学肿瘤学培训机构之一，菲律宾大学-菲律宾总医院在面对 2019 年冠状病毒病（COVID-19）大流行时面临着挑战。随着医院常规和实践的瓦解，日常查房、会议和考试等培训活动暂时暂停。认识到任何临床培训计划的优势在于其丰富的患者资源，因此，立即恢复患者服务（最初有限）对于确保我们机构的培训能够继续进行至关重要。教员和研究员之间制定了机会主义的教学学习策略。为了学习，创新性的方法也被采用，例如使用在线会议平台进行科室会议、网络研讨会、考试和其他学习活动。强调了在 COVID-19 大流行期间管理癌症患者时的重要考虑因素。在这场危机中，教员和研究员的情绪和心理健康都受到了关注，并在恢复培训活动之前进行了心理健康评估。
