ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND;The current COVID-19 pandemic is forcing the world community to change how things should be done to avoid widespread transmission and containment of infection. Some countries are promoting "Work from Home" for disciplines like radiology" to prevent infection dissemination in hospital facilities. So the aim of this study is to introduce 'work & teach and from home' during the pandemic by establishing convenient virtual platforms for faculty members and students.

METHODS:

This implementation research introduced a model "teach and work from home" during COVID pandemic. It was evaluated using a cross-sectional design to assess the effect of attending each session on the exam score of residents during the 1st 2 months of the COVID-19 declaration in Ethiopia. Teaching and service activities that didn't require physical presence were identified and replaced with virtual activities. Additional faculty teaching activity was also introduced to compensate for the reduced radiology caseload.

RESULTS:

Teach and work from home was introduced, and a total of 196 online teaching activities were conducted during the model's two-month introduction. Online attendance of teaching activities was shown to have a positive relation with exam scores for all levels of trainees.

CONCLUSION:

It was able to introduce teach and work from home model in the department of radiology at Addis Ababa university and it was shown that residents' retention of knowledge with the virtual platform was encouraging. It also brought a new experience in virtual teaching which is still practiced after the pandemic
