The COVID-19 pandemic was a radical disruption to life as we once knew it. However, the pandemic will also be earmarked as a transformative time for evolving medical education.
The rapid public health response to the pandemic demanded changes in delivering medical education. These course corrections magnified the necessity to broaden the scope of expertise among physicians and physicians-in-training across the United States.
Years ago, for someone to earn a medical degree or certificate in person, they would likely need to overhaul their sources of income, sacrifice relationships, and rearrange priorities in life. Earning a higher-level education in healthcare is a valuable career choice, but it is difficult to integrate schooling into one’s lifestyle.
Today, through a variety of platforms and with the help of technology, pursuing healthcare education has become more accessible, more immersible, and even more affordable. Online and virtual education resources have enabled healthcare students to obtain an engaging education in an accommodating format.

For the better part of 2020, the United States had to pivot to virtual healthcare, due to the pandemic. One industry, in particular, was both interrupted and reimagined during the COVID-19 crisis in healthcare.
Clinics and hospitals very quickly had to implement, or evolve, their telehealth services in order to see and care for their patients. This virtual tool became a critical component to COVID-19’s clinical response early on, and today still remains a necessary catalyst for delivering care.
