The COVID-19 global pandemic brought mandatory shelter-in-place orders, disrupting traditional face-to-face teaching methods for advanced practice fellowship programs nationally, creating a challenge for fellowship program directors to preserve curriculum using nontraditional methods.
Using a variety of both web-based and app-based virtual platforms, a nationally accredited fellowship program converted traditional in-seat learning modalities to elearning platforms using both synchronous and asynchronous education.
Preliminary data indicate that knowledge acquisition and perceived fellow satisfaction are preserved despite the abrupt change to program delivery. Programmatic modifications were submitted to the American Nurse Credentialing Center for compliance and deemed as creative, innovative, and collaborative.
Curriculum for advanced practice fellowship programs can be favorably converted to elearning using virtual platforms during a crisis. Through prompt reevaluation and restructuring, virtual platforms can replace in-seat didactic lectures, patient case studies, mentoring, and even simulation, while ensuring program continuation and compliance with accreditation standards.

COVID-19 全球大流行带来了强制性的就地避难命令，打乱了全国性的高级实践研究员项目的传统面对面教学方法，这给研究员项目主任带来了挑战，需要使用非传统方法来保留课程。
一个获得全国认可的研究员项目使用各种基于网络和基于应用程序的虚拟平台，将传统的座位学习模式转换为使用同步和异步教育的电子学习平台。
初步数据表明，尽管课程交付方式突然发生变化，但知识获取和同伴满意度的感知仍然得到保留。计划修改已提交给美国护士认证中心以符合规定，并被认为是具有创造性、创新性和协作性的。
在危机期间，可以使用虚拟平台将高级实践研究员课程顺利转换为电子学习。通过及时的重新评估和重组，虚拟平台可以替代座位上的理论讲座、患者案例研究、指导，甚至模拟，同时确保课程的持续进行和符合认证标准。[J Nurs Educ. 2020;59(9):514-517. ]。
