ABSTRACT
The COVID-19 pandemic has significantly changed the way we treat patients and educate healthcare professionals (HCPs). In summer 2020, the International League against Epilepsy (ILAE) implemented a virtual CME program with three integrated program elements addressing challenges in patient treatment as well as challenges caused by the forced transition to a virtual environment. Despite the highly competitive environment with exponential increase of webinars offered to HCPs, the program achieved high participation and satisfaction rates. Over 60% of participants indicated a change in their clinical practice after the interventions. With our outcomes evaluation, we aimed to better understand how well such an integrated program resonates with the learner and if it can make a difference in a highly competitive environment by supporting educators to become more adaptive and responsive to learner needs. Our pilot project was shown to be well accepted, achieving high satisfaction and perceived impact by the learner. In the light of an upcoming "digital fatigue" and a wish to return to face-to-face, we reiterate the value of the digital approach and recommend continuing along this successful path as we believe that taking a learner on a digital educational journey has been successful in a highly competitive and challenging environment.
