ABSTRACT
ABSTRACT The COVID-19 pandemic has disrupted almost every aspect of life globally, with higher education one of many direct targets. Institutions and educators have been faced with urgent crises of how to conduct business as usual while maintaining expectations of high standards and uncompromised goals. As physician assistant (PA) educators at Seton Hall University, we rallied and brainstormed approaches to daily instruction to keep students on track and faculty both effective and sane. We tapped technological resources offered by our university, learned countless new skills, and adapted classroom activities to online virtual platforms. Creativity and flexibility became the norm as we modified the way we did everything while remaining laser focused on the ultimate objectives. Our intention was to provide insight, motivation, and, at a minimum, an example of how to do things differently when faced with roadblocks. We were inspired by an editorial by Mary Jo Bondy, DHEd, MHS, PA-C, former CEO of the Physician Assistant Education Association, in which she called for collective innovation, collaboration, publication, and circulation of stories. With that charge, we assembled a detailed account of how a didactic team within our faculty maneuvered the challenges created by COVID-19, in hopes of adding to the arsenal of small triumphs in this uncharted territory.
