Description
Summary:Like many other aspects of hematology-oncology training, medical education experienced rapid changes throughout the COVID-19 pandemic that continue until today. We discuss some of the most transformative areas within medical education, including, but not limited to, educational philosophy; use of virtual resources; inter-institutional connections, shifts in clinical training; changes in recruitment practice; and attention to equity and diversity. Moreover, we add our own experiences to complement the limited literature addressing these topics. We conclude by highlighting some of the benefits of this unprecedented transformation in democratizing medical education that we hope endure beyond the pandemic.
