Abstract
Introduction: Following the Covid 19 pandemic in early 2020, the need to observe social distance, education of students at different levels was disrupted. Educational institutions and universities used various methods to compensate for this shortcoming, among which e-learning gained a special place.
Materials & Methods: We have created a virtual studio in Akbar children Hospital in Mashhad from March to May 2020, in which the respected professors of the Pediatrics Department of Mashhad University of Medical Sciences recorded the courses assigned to externs, interns and assistants in this studio. We launched the Healthstudio program, which provided us with a number of capabilities, including video editing, to improve the quality of our recorded videos.
Results: Results: A studio was equipped as a virtual recording space in which 50 training sessions were provided in the form of links for externs, 27 training sessions for interns and 5 training sessions for assistants. The links were also prepared in NAVID system(Special university learning software).
Conclusion: We tried to provide a suitable infrastructure for medical students to have quick and easy access to educational content.
