ABSTRACT

The COVID-19 pandemic requires a substantial change to the traditional approach to conference didactics. Switching to a virtual medium for conference sessions presents several challenges, particularly with regard to aspects that rely heavily upon in-person components (e.g., simulation, ultrasound). This paper discusses the challenges and strategies to address them for conference planning in the era of COVID-19.
