The extent to which online mentoring can replace classic mentoring functions has to be discussed anew.Objectives The COVID-19 pandemic caused drastic changes in medical education and might affect students' mental health and perception of study conditions. Mentoring may have mediating effects by enhancing social support. The University Medical Center Hamburg-Eppendorf (UKE) offers a voluntary general mentoring program (g-mentoring) for all interested students and a mentoring program for students with excellent course results and scientific interest (e-mentoring) We aimed to investigate the mental burden and views of their study situation during COVID-19 among students who did or did not participate in one of the formal mentoring programs. Method We conducted a cross-sectional online survey (May 2020) examining students' mental burden using the Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ-4), and assessing their perception of study conditions and digital teaching using self-developed items. Results Of 1193 invited students, 543 (45.5%) completed the survey. 35% of those participated in the g-mentoring and 7% in the e-mentress by medical schools interested in developing effective interventions to support students during a pandemic and continuous online teaching.In the summer semester 2020, the module "People in different stages of life" in the Bachelor program "Interprofessional Health Care, B.Sc." had to be adapted to online teaching. The module exam, originally planned as an oral presentation, was presented by the students in interprofessional tandems as a video presentation using case studies. Based on cognitive and social constructivism, all students reflected on these video presentations using the "Think-Pair-Share" method. Similar to regular inverted classroom methods, knowledge transfer through the video presentations was asynchronous and cognitively constructive; accompanying discussion questions of the respective speakers were answered in writing by the fellow students (Think). The students met independently online in small groups on a regular basis to discuss the respective presentations and questions based on personal and professional experiences (Pair; socially constructed). In open online debriefings with the lecturers, the speakers and all interested students, relevant aspects were taken up and discussed again (Share). First experiences showed that the students enjoyed the production of the video presentations and that many of them voluntarily participated in the discussion rounds, in which aspects of health care beyond the presentations were discussed. Considering the experiences made, continuing online teaching in this format may be worthwhile for both lecturers and students.Introduction For the selection of students for the winter semester 2020/21, the established selection procedure of the University of Witten/Herdecke (UW/H) was adapted to the virtual space in view of the current contact ban and recommended keeping of distance. The three stations in the second step of the procedure, the biographical one-on-one interview, presentation and discussion on a subject-specific topic as well as multiple mini interviews (MMI) on the social skills of the applicants were audiovisual and in real time in zoom meetings. Project description The medical, psychological and student reviewers were prepared for the virtual selection procedure in training sessions. Three weeks before the selection days, the applicants received information on the technical requirements for the interviews and on data protection for the persons affected by the collection of personal data. The evaluation of the virtual selection procedure was carried out by the reviewers using an online questionnaire with 8 socio-demoon procedure as a possible supplement to the personal selection interviews at the University of Witten/Herdecke remains to be made.Background/Objective The changes to medical studies that became necessary as part of the Corona pandemic have also forced considerable adjustments in Neurology. Classroom teaching had to be converted almost entirely to digital formats within a short period of time. The present study provides an overview of the respective changes and associated complications as well as opportunities in teaching Neurology. Methodology Lecturers in Neurology at all University hospitals in Germany were asked about their approach and the individual changes in their curriculum. Of a total of 39 locations, 23 answered the online questionnaire (see attachment 1). Results While frontal teaching and lectures could be carried out digitally without any problems, difficulties arose especially in learning physical examination and bedside teaching. Most of the participants stated that they had not found satisfactory e-learning formats to replace teaching at the patients bed. Conclusion The ad hoc changes in teaching Neurology resulted in significant additional effort for the part of lecturers, but were generally well accepted by students. Firsocostat The Corona pandemic thus ultimately offers an opportunity to enrich teaching in Neurology.Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, digital teaching approaches should be used wherever possible. In this article we report on our project for digital teaching and learning of surgical skills. The compulsory elective "Intensivkurs Chirurgische Techniken" for medical students starting with semester 5 was designed as a blended learning course. One week before the face-to-face class, the students receive the learning and teaching material online in a Moodle course. In the face-to-face class, live demos of procedures (e.g. performing skin and intestinal sutures) are presented by the teachers. The learners then perform the practical procedures and record themselves with the camera of an iPad. They publish their videos in the Moodle course via an Opencast plugin. The implementation of an annotation tool enables everyone in the Moodle course to add free-text comments to selected parts of the videos (video-assisted feedback and coaching). As a result of the pandemic, the face-to-face class is being moved to a digital learning environment. For this purpose, we are extending the existing system with a web conference tool (BigBlueButton).
