The Canadian Network for International Surgery (CNIS) hosted a workshop in May of 2020 with a goal of critically evaluating Trauma Team Training courses. The workshop was held virtually because of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. Twenty-three participants attended from 8 countries: Canada, Guyana, Kenya, Nigeria, Switzerland, Tanzania, Uganda and the United States. More participants were able to attend the virtual meeting than the traditional in-person meetings. Web-based videoconference software was used, participants presented prerecorded PowerPoint videos, and questions were raised using a written chat. The review proved successful, with discussions and recommendations for improvements surrounding course quality, lecture content, skills sessions, curriculum variations and clinical practical scenarios. The CNIS's successful experience conducting an online curriculum review involving international participants may prove useful to others proceeding with collaborative projects during the COVID-19 pandemic.
加拿大国际外科学网络（CNIS）于 2020 年 5 月举办了一个研讨会，旨在对创伤小组培训课程进行严格评估。由于 2019 冠状病毒病（COVID-19）大流行，该研讨会是在线举行的。来自加拿大、圭亚那、肯尼亚、尼日利亚、瑞士、坦桑尼亚、乌干达和美国的 8 个国家的 23 名参与者参加了会议。与传统的面对面会议相比，有更多的参与者能够参加虚拟会议。会议使用了基于网络的视频会议软件，参与者展示了预先录制的 PowerPoint 视频，并使用书面聊天提出了问题。审查取得了成功，围绕课程质量、讲座内容、技能课程、课程变化和临床实际情况进行了讨论并提出了改进建议。CNIS 在成功举办涉及国际参与者的在线课程审查方面的经验，可能对其他在 COVID-19 大流行期间进行合作项目的人有用。
