Abstract
The coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic brought unprecedented challenges to and detrimental effects on medical training and education. Due to existing cordon sanitaire measures aimed at containing the infection, clinical courses and professional examinations involving physical contact between participants and with patients have been repeatedly cancelled or postponed. Herein, we describe a tried-and-tested clinical course model designed to lower the risks of transmission between and beyond the participants, whilst remaining practical and pragmatic in its structure, so as to allow the implementation by academic medical centres worldwide during the current and future pandemics.
