Our institution cancelled all in-person clerkships owing to the coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic. In response, we designed a virtual radiation oncology medical student clerkship.
We convened an advisory panel to design a virtual clerkship curriculum. We implemented clerkship activities using a cloud-based learning management system, video web conferencing systems, and a telemedicine portal. Students completed assessments pre- and postclerkship to provide data to improve future versions of the clerkship.
The virtual clerkship spans 2 weeks and is graded pass or fail. Students attend interactive didactic sessions during the first week and participate in virtual clinic and give talks to the department during the second week. Didactic sessions include lectures, case-based discussions, treatment planning seminars, and material adapted from the Radiation Oncology Education Collaborative Study Group curriculum. Students also attend virtual departmental quality assurance rounds, cancer center seminars, and multidisciplinary tumor boards. The enrollment cap was met during the first virtual clerkship period (April 27 through May 8, 2020), with a total of 12 students enrolling.
Our virtual clerkship can increase student exposure and engagement in radiation oncology. Data on clerkship outcomes are forthcoming.
由于2019年冠状病毒病大流行，我们机构取消了所有线下见习。作为回应，我们设计了一个虚拟放射肿瘤学医学学生见习项目。
我们召集了一个咨询小组来设计虚拟见习课程。我们使用基于云的学习管理系统、视频网络会议系统和远程医疗门户来开展见习活动。学生在见习前后完成评估，以提供数据来改进见习的未来版本。
虚拟见习为期2周，成绩评定为及格或不及格。学生在第一周参加互动式教学课程，并在第二周参与虚拟临床实习并向科室进行汇报。教学课程包括讲座、基于病例的讨论、治疗计划研讨会，以及改编自放射肿瘤学教育协作研究组课程的材料。学生还参加虚拟科室质量保证查房、癌症中心研讨会和多学科肿瘤病例讨论会。在第一个虚拟见习期（2020年4月27日至5月8日）达到了招生上限，共有12名学生报名。
我们的虚拟见习可以增加学生对放射肿瘤学的接触和参与度。见习结果的数据即将公布。
