ABSTRACT
Students in all years, including those in lower years, were prohibited from coming to campus because of COVID-19, which began to spread in January 2020. However, we believed that a hospital tour and observership would be important practical training for first and second year medical students as part of the early exposure program, which aims to increase student motivation. Thus, we decided to conduct a virtual hospital tour and a virtual observation of medical doctors’ work. We used Zoom to conduct a virtual hospital tour for first-year students in June, and a virtual observation of physicians’ work for second-year students in December. Although this offered less of an opportunity to experience the reality of the clinic, there have been benefits in terms of increased learning content, fairness of learning opportunities delivered, and the promotion of independent learning. With regard to a “Hospital Tour” and the “Observation of Medical Doctors’ Work” , we believe that hybrid forms, which are able to skillfully combine the strengths of the two methods, would be effective.
ABSTRACT
Mobile learning has the characteristics of mobility,timeliness,network and virtu-ality. We developed virtual hospital suitable for mobile devices and organized students in to a network. Through early training,clinical case screen,learning objective fix,learning process and results evaluation,mobile devices were employed to do problem-based learning,which is conducive to the integration of theory with practice,the shifting from discipline-centered to system-based courses and the improving of utilization rate of learning resource.
