The disruption of traditional, in-person learning due to the COVID-19 pandemic necessitated the rapid development and use of revised and novel learning opportunities using a variety of remote instructional methodologies. This viewpoint describes the process used by an undergraduate Public Health program to transition a traditional, in-person, semester-long, 480-hour internship to a virtual-only learning experience guided by the existing student learning outcomes. Working closely with public health professionals at existing internship agencies, alumni from the program, student interns, and program faculty developed a modified virtual internship composed of 6 components. The development of this modified virtual internship model was guided by previous research on the components of successful internships and the elements of high-impact learning practices.
由于 COVID-19 大流行，传统的面对面学习被打乱，这就需要迅速开发和利用各种远程教学方法，对修订后的和新颖的学习机会加以利用。本观点描述了一个本科公共卫生项目所采用的流程，该项目将一个传统的、面对面的、为期一个学期、480 小时的实习转变为仅通过虚拟方式进行学习，其指导原则是现有的学生学习成果。通过与现有实习机构的公共卫生专业人员、该项目的校友、学生实习生以及项目教师密切合作，开发了由 6 个部分组成的修改后的虚拟实习。这个修改后的虚拟实习模式的开发是基于对成功实习的组成部分以及高影响力学习实践的要素的先前研究。
