Covid response

“The established Blended Learning Education model of Human Study has proven to be a great advantage during pandemic times.” We have adapted our teaching to reflect the reality of working through a pandemic.

This has meant delaying the practical assessments and case presentations, and running an additional semester to help students stay on track with their learning. Students faced difficulties to identify the right patients for their assignments, as many potential patients were shielding. Additionally, clinical onsite training workshops had to be postponed due to travel restrictions and the risk of infection involved when bringing together a group of students with a trainer team and patients for the end of module assessment workshops.

The established Blended Learning Education model of Human Study has proven to be a great advantage during pandemic times - Across the world, in person learning largely ground to a halt, but our online courses were able to progress.

We have also started making contingency plans with Mahidol University in Thailand to run the final exams online should covid continue to disrupt examinations in 2022 – a world first.
