Background:

COVID-19 pandemic disrupted traditional medical student training in Summer 2020.
Safety and resource limitations necessitated alternative approaches to clinical exposure.

Purpose of the Study:

To evaluate a pilot 7-week virtual shadowing program for preclinical medical students.
To offer virtual observational clinical experiences and enhance understanding of medical specialties.

Main Methods:

Faculty and students were matched based on preferences and availability.
A practice guide was created to standardize virtual shadowing procedures.
Surveys were administered to faculty and students post-program.

Main Results:

The virtual shadowing program was found effective by both faculty and students.
Participants reported limited technological difficulties during the program.
The program successfully provided virtual observational clinical experiences.

Conclusions:

Virtual shadowing is a viable alternative for clinical exposure during disruptions.
The program effectively met its goal of increasing students' clinical understanding.
Future virtual medical education programs can be implemented with confidence.
