“…However, the arrangements described are commonly dependent upon socially determined elements (for example, private living space, control over environment, fast internet connection etc.). The medical education community is already sighted on mitigating the impact of social difference and inequality on home-based, online assessments (Davis et al 2020;Choi et al 2020). However, our findings suggest that, medical schools may also wish to consider these factors when implementing medical students consulting from home.…”

Introduction: Lockdowns during the COVID-19 pandemic had a disruptive effect on medical education when they prevented medical students accessing real patients. To address this, we piloted 35 medical students at home consulting remotely with patients. Method: We evaluated the intervention using qualitative analysis of post-experience interviews with a sample of 13 students and 10 clinical supervisors. Results: The experience was perceived by all those interviewed to be both acceptable and educationally valuable. Data analysis revealed different models of implementation according to type of patients involved (acute, recently treated or expert patients) and type of communication platform used (AccuRx, Microsoft Teams or telephone). Practical and educational challenges were identified in relation to the following elements of the experience: patients consulting with students remotely, students being remotely supervised and students undertaking patient contact from home. Strategies for addressing these challenges were directly suggested by interviewees and also inferred from our analysis of the data. Conclusions: Remotely supervised medical students at home undertaking remote consultations with patients can be acceptable and educationally valuable. The intervention was piloted in a UK graduate entry medical course and so it would be useful to replicate this study in other medical student populations.

“…If an applicant is offered a choice of an in-person or virtual interview, programs should have practices in place to mitigate the resultant biases against the applicant who chooses a virtual interview format as being less interested in their program. 21 This study has a number of notable strengths. First, we had a robust survey completion rate from interviewers, including nearly two-thirds of the fellowship programs participating in the AE match.…”

“…The smoothest interviews often occurred when the program coordinators ensured all the interviewers were facile with the technology and had durable internet connections. 3,4 Most technological issues occur for programs and applicants when first logging on. Ask participants to log on 15 to 20 minutes before the actual start time of the presentation.…”

“…The vibrant new hospital entrance or the stocked cafeteria will not make or break a program for most interviewees; however, seeing the surrounding environment of a program does help build a complete picture for the applicant. 4 While physical tours are not possible, please use creativity and provide photos and/or videos of relevant areas that would be shown on the traditional tour. Join the common rooms and interact with other applicants when able.…”
