Article Abstract
Patient and family communication is a well-known factor associated with improved patient outcomes. During the COVID-19 pandemic, visitation restrictions meant communication with patients and their families became a challenge, particularly with intubated patients in the intensive care unit. As the hospital filled with COVID-19 patients, medical students and physicians at Albany Medical Center identified the urgent need for a better communication method with families. In response, the COVID-19 Compassion Coalition (CCC) was formed. The CCC's goal was to decrease the distress felt by families unable to visit their hospitalized loved ones. They developed a streamlined process for videoconferencing between patients on COVID-19 units and their families by using tablets. Having medical students take responsibility for this process allowed nurses and physicians to focus on patient care. Incorporating videoconferencing technology can allow physicians and nurses to better connect with families, especially during unprecedented times like a pandemic.

Background: In Canada, the Indigenous population is the youngest and fastest growing, yet ongoing health disparities for Indigenous peoples are widely recognized. There is a concerning lack of research on childhood disabilities and health conditions in Indigenous populations in Canada. For children with disabilities and chronic health conditions, ongoing access to rehabilitation services, such as occupational therapy, physical therapy, speech-language pathology, and audiology, is critical in promoting positive health and developmental outcomes.

The amphibian dissection for medical students was halted by the restrictions imposed by the National regulatory guidelines, prompting medical curricula to revise and innovate instructional methods. Hence there is a critical need for potential innovative solutions to enhance students' understanding of physiological concepts. Therefore, this study aimed (a) to evaluate the gain in knowledge and retention with computer assisted simulation (CAS) vs traditional (TT) teaching learning strategies in first year medical and paramedical students, and (b) to obtain students' and faculty feedback about strengths and limitations of both strategies.

This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of online synchronous and asynchronous teaching formats for undergraduate physiology education in a medical program in Ireland, with a specific focus on the use of LabTutor (Lt) LabStation online laboratory platform for remote access. To understand how the Lt platform was used by students and whether it enhanced their learning experience in physiology, we conducted a survey and questionnaire. We focused on students' access to Lt activities and examined any gender differences in the utilization of, and attitudes towards, these activities in a 'Fundamentals of Medicine' module for first-year medical students (n=65).
