Purpose:
As the COVID-19 pandemic outbreak occurred, most structured clinical communication training were transformed from in-person to remote seminars. The aim of our study was to evaluate the usefulness and feasibility of online synchronous clinical communication training from both students' and tutors' perspectives.
Patients And Methods:
We conducted a cross-sectional study. Geneva Faculty of Medicine' 3rd year medical students and tutors involved in clinical communication were asked to respond to an online survey.
Results:
Eighty-five of 149 students and 15/16 tutors responded. Students highly valued both online seminars and reported little technical difficulty. They felt that tutors were well prepared and actively involved them in experiential learning. Tutors globally reported little technical difficulty and felt rather well prepared to do so online. Although both students and tutors preferred the in-person format, half of them could still consider using an online format in the future outside the pandemic but mentioned it required specific rules.
Conclusion:
Our results suggest that clinical communication can be taught and practiced online and that tutors can quickly adapt to such changes.
