The Mid Essex teaching team have adapted and innovated to ensure delivery of the curriculum to over 150 students from two medical schools during COVID-19. A fully immersive education experience was created through protected teaching time, the introduction of a simulation package (virtual reality simulation, ward simulation and bleep simulation), the proactive recruitment of fourteen dedicated teaching fellows, and the procurement of technology-based platforms. The blended learning approach we designed supplemented student-patient interaction on the ward with virtual and face-to-face teaching sessions where appropriate. Preliminary data from student feedback suggests that the pandemic induced adaptations, technological innovations and simulation-based teaching have been successful. Students have rapidly gained confidence, knowledge and skills that they need to progress. It may be a consideration for teaching hospitals elsewhere to consider such methods to ensure students are prepared for life as a doctor both in the midst of and after the pandemic.
埃塞克斯中部教学团队进行了调整和创新，以确保在新冠疫情期间为来自两所医学院的150多名学生提供课程。通过预留专门的教学时间、引入模拟教学包（虚拟现实模拟、病房模拟和传呼模拟）、积极招募14名专职教学研究员以及购置基于技术的平台，创造了一种完全沉浸式的教育体验。我们设计的混合式学习方法在适当的时候，通过虚拟和面对面教学课程，补充了学生在病房与患者的互动。学生反馈的初步数据表明，疫情引发的调整、技术创新和基于模拟的教学取得了成功。学生们迅速获得了进步所需的信心、知识和技能。其他地方的教学医院可能需要考虑采用此类方法，以确保学生在疫情期间及之后都能为成为一名医生做好准备。
