COVID-19 has presented unprecedented challenges to our education structures. To face these challenges, many educators have developed new or adjusted existing education processes, modalities, and content to generate meaningful alternatives in health sciences education. Below is a catalog of some of the education innovations happening within Michigan Medicine and a list of other key resources.

Physical and Occupational Therapist BlueJeans Training Description: In light of COVID-19, many healthcare providers have had to cancel or defer patients to a later date; however, physical and occupational therapists are still servicing patients via telehealth and the BlueJeans. A PowerPoint was created to instruct therapists on how to set up a BlueJeans session, how to give appropriate and simple patient instructions, as well as resources for the therapist to immediately implement telehealth out of their home in accordance to HIPAA and Michigan Medicine’s guidelines.
