In light of the COVID-19 pandemic and resulting demand for innovative hospital management we organized an interactive online discussion for medical students and healthcare professionals about hospital management during the crisis. The event offered an opportunity to learn from a hospital crisis management. We looked at how this new online format compares to a traditional discussion event. We used an online platform with four guests, a moderator and about 100 attendees. During the event we gathered demographic facts through an interactive questionnaire tool and an extensive evaluation afterwards. The event was rated with an overall grade of 1.4 (Likert from 1 to 6, 1 best grade; SD 0.5) and participants agreed that this format should be organized again (1.2; SD 0.5). 70% of audience members preferred the online format of the event. Due to the high volume, only about 30% (total n~35) of the questions posed by the audience were addressed. Firstly, most participants preferred the event to be online, contrary to our expectation. Secondly, the handling of the amount of individual questions posed significant challenges. Finally, the number of attendees and questions suggested a continuing demand among students and physicians for further education regarding hospital management, especially regarding COVID-19. These findings also require a critical look at future formats and topics of podium discussions in medical education. The online format might be a good alternative to face-to-face lectures.
鉴于 COVID-19 大流行和由此产生的对创新医院管理的需求，我们为医学生和医疗保健专业人员组织了一次关于危机期间医院管理的互动在线讨论。该活动提供了一个从医院危机管理中学习的机会。我们研究了这种新的在线形式与传统讨论活动相比的优缺点。我们使用了一个带有四位嘉宾、一位主持人和大约 100 名参与者的在线平台。在活动期间，我们通过互动问卷工具收集人口统计数据，并在活动结束后进行了广泛的评估。该活动的总体评分为 1.4（Likert 从 1 到 6，1 分为最高分；SD 为 0.5），参与者一致认为应该再次组织这种形式的活动（1.2；SD 为 0.5）。70%的观众更喜欢该活动的在线形式。由于参与人数众多，只有大约 30%（总人数~35）的观众提问得到了回答。首先，大多数参与者更喜欢在线活动，这与我们的预期相反。其次，处理大量单独提出的问题具有很大的挑战性。最后，参会人数和提出的问题表明，学生和医生对医院管理，尤其是 COVID-19 方面的进一步教育有持续的需求。这些发现还需要对未来医学教育中的 podium 讨论形式和主题进行批判性审视。在线形式可能是面对面讲座的一个很好的替代方案。
