The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic and subsequent physical distancing recommendations created major gaps in traditional dermatologic undergraduate and postgraduate medical education delivery. Nevertheless, the educational consequences of various public health restrictions have indirectly set aside the inertia, resistance, and risk averse approach to pedagogical change in medicine. In Canada, rapid collaboration and innovation in dermatologic education has led to novel programs including the implementation of a range of internet-facilitated group learning activities and a dramatic expansion of digital telehealth and virtual care. Going forward, three key issues arising from these developments will need to be addressed: the ongoing assessment of these innovations for efficacy; sustaining the momentum and creativity that has been achieved; and, determining which of these activities are worth maintaining when traditional "tried and true" learning activities can be resumed.
2019 年冠状病毒病（COVID-19）大流行及随后的保持身体距离建议，对传统皮肤科本科和研究生医学教育的开展造成了重大空白。然而，各种公共卫生限制的教育后果，已间接地打破了医学教学变革中的惰性、阻力和规避风险的做法。在加拿大，皮肤科教育的快速协作和创新带来了新的计划，包括实施一系列互联网促进的小组学习活动，以及大幅扩大数字远程医疗和虚拟护理。今后，这些发展带来的三个关键问题需要加以解决：对这些创新的持续评估；保持已取得的势头和创造力；以及确定在传统的“经过验证的”学习活动能够恢复时，这些活动中有哪些值得保留。
