Interactive, case-based seminars in the digitized pediatrics block internship from the students’ perspective

We report on the pediatric block practice digitized due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Nineteen seminars were recorded, which represent the broad spectrum of pediatrics as comprehensively as possible, and made available on the learning platform ILIAS in a learning sequence. In order to increase attention and learning success formative questions were interspersed into the seminars. The evaluation of the students showed a high acceptance of this course. Especially the formative questions and the high time flexibility were appreciated. A major point of criticism was that not all questions were resolved immediately afterwards. The resolutions were inserted in the meantime. Parts of the digitized block practical course should therefore be used in the pediatric block practical course after the end of the corona restrictions after appropriate revision.
