Just weeks after the shutdown of many educational activities due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Clinical Education Task Force conducted the first in a series of national webinars on behalf of ASAHP for healthcare systems and education leaders facing unprecedented challenges to clinical curriculum delivery. Facing uncertainty about the virus—means of transmission, morbidity, and treatment—and its impact on higher education, ASAHP leaders and administration along with CETF members initiated the series, framing our initial response around CETF recommendations the Journal of Allied Health recently published promoting strategic academic and health care partnerships to prioritize evolving needs for current and future healthcare. Broad participation prompted further sessions on reintegrating clinical students, educational accreditors accommodations to the crisis, and integrating telehealth into healthcare curricula. More than 1000 unique participants joined the first four sessions. The presenters describe planning and implementation to date, participants, and evaluation of the webinars, and seek input on further topics and processes to extend this innovative learning platform.
