BACKGROUND: The COVID-19 Pandemic has dramatically impacted how we deliver experiential/hands-on education and biomedical and health sciences training. This is a significant challenge for professors, instructors, and students who struggle to cope with new realities. In the current pandemic environment, in-person interactions with students are not always advised or possible, but student training must continue.
