COVID-19 has brought forth unprecedented changes in the delivery of medical education. With concerns rising over a new variant and an upheaval in vaccine distribution, institutions have had to re-strategize and, in many cases, implement provisional shutdowns to contain the spread of SARS-CoV-2. For medical schools, providing an optimal balance between in-person training and virtual learning has been challenging. At the University of Ottawa Faculty of Medicine, key components of the undergraduate medical education, including in-class lectures, interactive practical sessions, and clinical placements, have been affected by the pandemic. In this paper, we highlight barriers to an optimal learning experience among pre-clerkship students at the University of Ottawa and propose ways in which this can be overcome.

UNSTRUCTURED Utilizing an electronic portfolio (e-portfolio) is an effective means of enhancing the learning experience in educational settings. In the present study an e-portfolio framework was designed for medical education at Shiraz University of Medical Sciences. The objective was to assess learning progress in a medical course that provides instructor feedback via e-portfolio and promotes self-reflection among the students. The results indicate that using e-portfolio stimulates self-reflection in students and increases their active participation in the learning process. Integrating e-portfolios in educational programs can remarkably improve the academic performance in the fields of medicine and healthcare.
