Experiences of continuing medical education during COVID 19

Abstract

Journal clubs are a valued source of teaching for medical professionals. We launched a novel podcast delivered journal club utilising commonly used social media applications to drive asynchronous discussion around key topics. This design uses commonly accessible freeware and can be customised to suit the cohort of participants. We demonstrate changes of practice achieved through the journal club discussion, a sustained response of contributors, links to external papers and links to external media to augment the discussion. We are hoping to launch this intervention at our sister sites and assess over a longer time frame to demonstrate sustainability and validity of this teaching intervention.
