Background This study investigates the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the radiology profession, including radiologists and radiographers. It assesses radiology professionals’ challenges in accessing continuing medical education during the pandemic and recommends prospects for CME practices in radiology. Methods The data were collected from two predefined groups: radiographers and radiologists. The data were collected through an online survey conducted via Google Forms. A total of 215 radiographers and 65 radiologists participated. The data used in this paper were collected through an online survey administered from November 2022 to January 2023. The survey was structured into two sections. The first section gathered participants' demographic information, and the second section captured the participants' experiences with CME before and during the pandemic. The results showed that there had been a shift from face-to-face to online CME events since the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic. However, this study’s findings suggest that face-to-face resources are still widely used, despite the restrictions of the pandemic. Conclusion The paper concludes that the COVID-19 pandemic has significantly impacted continuing medical education (CME) among radiology professionals, with a shift toward online CME events. The survey findings can help CME providers understand the expectations and requirements of radiology professionals for online medical education. The preference for combined face-to-face and online CME events (blended learning) can define the way for the future development of CME. The paper also highlights the importance of digital learning tools, such as mobile apps and online simulations, in CME programs.

ObjectiveThe coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID‐19) pandemic disrupted educational frameworks worldwide, particularly affecting health professions education. The impact on students varied based on local pandemic severity, public health policies, and institutional capacities. Our observational, retrospective study evaluated the impact of the COVID‐19 pandemic on senior dental students' performance during community rotations at Indiana University School of Dentistry.MethodologyData from student self‐assessments and faculty evaluations, collected as part of the Community‐Based Dental Education (CBDE) course between 2018 to 2022 was utilized. Five key domains of patient care: diagnosis and treatment planning, clinical skills, time management, interprofessional collaboration, and professionalism was assesed using a 5‐point Likert scale. Pre‐ and post‐pandemic comparisons of self‐reported student evaluation and faculty assessment scores were conducted using two‐sample t‐tests, with ANOVA used to analyze cohort differences.ResultsSignificant declines were observed in mean scores for diagnosis and treatment planning, clinical skills, time management, and interprofessional collaboration during the post‐COVID period compared to pre‐COVID levels (p < 0.05). Conversely, an increase in average scores related to students' professionalism was noted, although this difference was not statistically significant (p > 0.05). Class cohort‐wise analysis showed similar patterns, with all cohorts experiencing significant declines in the aforementioned areas (p < 0.05) and non‐significant increases in professionalism scores (p > 0.05).ConclusionThis study findings underscore the challenges faced by dental education in adapting to pandemic‐induced disruptions and highlight the importance of adaptive approaches and support systems to address these challenges. Moving forward, resolving disparities in assessments and comprehending the various factors influencing student performance will be crucial to preserving the adaptability and effectiveness of dentistry education in the face of adversity.
