COVID-19 pandemic had disrupted postgraduate (PG) medical education in India. This study aimed to assess PG teaching, learning, evaluation (TLE), and innovative TLE methods used during the pandemic.
We conducted a cross-sectional survey using Google Forms to seek anonymous responses from psychiatry teachers across India. Information about PG TLE, postings in COVID-19 care units, methods of teaching adopted in different settings, difficulties faced, and methods of evaluation used were sought in responses. Descriptive statistics methods were used for analysis.
The pandemic led to compromised TLE opportunities for the students. Posting of students and teachers in COVID-19 wards for an average of 15 months, students and teachers getting COVID-19, conversion of psychiatry wards to COVID-19 wards, and reduced number of outpatients and inpatients impaired the teaching-learning opportunities. For examination, the evaluation was done with limited standards, like using dummy patients or case vignettes. A few innovative TLE methods were also used during the pandemic.
COVID-19 pandemic had led to sub-optimal PG TLE. Teachers suggested many alternative and flexible TLE methods and platforms.
新冠疫情扰乱了印度的研究生医学教育。本研究旨在评估疫情期间的研究生教学、学习、评估(TLE)以及创新性TLE方法。
我们通过谷歌表单进行了一项横断面调查,以寻求印度各地精神科教师的匿名回复。回复中收集了有关研究生TLE、在新冠护理病房的轮转、不同环境下采用的教学方法、面临的困难以及所使用的评估方法等信息。采用描述性统计方法进行分析。
疫情导致学生的TLE机会受损。学生和教师在新冠病房平均轮转15个月,学生和教师感染新冠,精神科病房改建为新冠病房,以及门诊和住院患者数量减少,均损害了教学学习机会。对于考试,评估标准有限,如使用模拟患者或病例 vignettes。疫情期间也使用了一些创新性TLE方法。
新冠疫情导致研究生TLE未达最佳状态。教师们提出了许多替代和灵活的TLE方法及平台。
