The COVID-19 pandemic caused an abrupt disruption in residency and fellowship training, with most in-person teaching ceasing in March 2020. The AAHKS (American Association of Hip and Knee Surgeons) Board of Directors quickly initiated an online lecture series named the Fellows Online COVID-19 AAHKS Learning initiative. The purpose of this study is to illustrate the impact that this educational platform had on residents and adult hip and knee reconstruction fellows.
Between March 31, 2020 and June 25, 2020 an online educational platform was simultaneously developed and delivered. Adult hip and knee reconstruction fellows and residents were invited to participate in the free, live, online education sessions. Faculty from well-respected institutions from around the United States volunteered their time to host the initiative, choosing topics to present, ranging from hip (13 lectures) and knee (9 lectures), to practice management/miscellaneous (12 lectures). Attendee registrations were tracked via the online platform and the maximum number of attendees per session was recorded. A survey was administered to attendees for feedback.
Thirty-four, 1-hour virtual lectures were delivered in real time by 79 different faculty members from 20 different institutions. A total of 4746 registrations for the 34 lectures were received, with 2768 registrants (58.3%) attending. The average attendance was 81 viewers per session (range 21-143), with attendance peaking mid-April 2020. A survey administered to lecture participants showed that 104/109 (95.4%) attended live lectures and 93/109 (85.3%) watched recorded sessions. About 92.5% of attendees responded that they wanted the lectures to continue after clinical responsibilities resumed.
Amid a pandemic with cessation of in-person training, AAHKS delivered a robust virtual training alternative, exposing residents and fellows to a variety of renowned faculty and topics. Attendance with the program was very high, along with continued interest to continue this initiative. These worldwide lectures may lead to future opportunities in virtual residency and fellowship education.
COVID-19 大流行导致住院医师和研究员培训突然中断，大多数面授教学于 2020 年 3 月停止。AAHKS（美国髋关节和膝关节外科医师协会）理事会迅速启动了一个名为“研究员在线 COVID-19 AAHKS 学习计划”的在线讲座系列。本研究的目的是说明该教育平台对住院医师和成人髋关节和膝关节重建研究员的影响。
2020 年 3 月 31 日至 6 月 25 日，同时开发和提供了一个在线教育平台。邀请成人髋关节和膝关节重建研究员和住院医师参加免费的、现场的在线教育课程。来自美国各地知名机构的教员自愿抽出时间主持该倡议，选择要介绍的主题，包括髋关节（13 次讲座）和膝关节（9 次讲座）、实践管理/杂项（12 次讲座）。通过在线平台跟踪参会者注册情况，并记录每次会议的最大参会人数。向与会者发放了一份调查问卷以征求反馈意见。
由 20 个不同机构的 79 名不同教员实时提供了 34 个 1 小时的虚拟讲座。共收到 34 次讲座的 4746 次注册，其中 2768 名注册者（58.3%）参加。平均每场会议有 81 名观众（21-143 名），参会人数在 2020 年 4 月中旬达到峰值。对参加讲座的人进行的一项调查显示，104/109（95.4%）人参加了现场讲座，93/109（85.3%）人观看了录播课程。约 92.5%的与会者表示，在临床职责恢复后，他们希望继续举办讲座。
在大流行期间停止面对面培训的情况下，AAHKS 提供了强大的虚拟培训替代方案，使住院医师和研究员接触到各种知名教员和主题。该计划的参与度非常高，并且人们仍然有兴趣继续这一倡议。这些全球范围的讲座可能会为未来的虚拟住院医师和研究员教育带来机会。
