[Compulsory Training in Post-pandemic Times - Presence, Digital, Hybrid & Co. Using the Example of the University Hospital of Würzburg].

With the end of the pandemic in April 2023 the whole learning environment had run through some major changes. The act of normal teaching was not that easy anymore during the pandemic. The size of a class had to be cut down to a size that fits the hygienic guidelines. Therefore, methods like blended learning and virtual classrooms came to life stronger than before. The methods were not new but never before needed in such a strong matter. Due to the experience with these methods of education, teaching and learning stayed different. Topics like virtual reality and even augmented reality stayed and are to some point part of the educational system nowadays. Due to the pandemic, it may seem that these new kinds of methods are worse compared to the ones we are used to but several studies can prove the opposite.The University Hospital Würzburg (UKW) has adapted to these kinds of changes. Every specialist training was formed to fit the necessary changes during the pandemic. It was not easy to keep up good practical education with the correct distance measurement, open windows for fresh air every 45 minutes or an FFP2 mask for protection. The rest of the close to 190 trainings held in the rooms of the academy of the UKW had to be cancelled or cut down to a group size allowed. Most of the known digital teaching and learning system that were installed at that time remained and are in use.
