The Covid-19 pandemic has had a global impact. The increasingly widespread spread of the Covid-19 disease has caused the government to take steps to control the spread of Covid-19, including by conducting online lectures. The spread of COVID-19 has caused the world and Indonesia to enter a new era of order that aims to control the spread of COVID-19. The Faculty of Medicine as an educational institution for educating prospective doctors has been directly or indirectly affected by the Covid-19 pandemic. Medical education that includes affective, cognitive, and psychomotor must also be carried out online during the pandemic. This change certainly creates its own challenges for academic educators at the Faculty of Medicine. However, behind a challenge, of course, there will be opportunities that can be developed in the future in the educational process at the Faculty of Medicine to educate qualified future doctors. The Faculty of Medicine, Ganesha Education University (Undiksha) held a seminar with the theme “Opportunities and Challenges of Medical Education in the New Order of Life”
Friday, November 20, 2020, FK Undiksha again held a National Seminar with the theme “Covid-19”. This event, which was held using a Zoom meeting, invited participants from FK Undiksha lecturers, FK Undiksha staff, and FK Undiksha students. National Seminar chaired by Dr. Ketut Indra Purnomo, S.Ked, M.Kes invited 2 speakers from Sebelas Maret University, Prof. Dr. Hartono, M.Si and Gadjah Mada University Prof. Dr. Ova Emilia, M.Med. ED, Ph.D., Sp.OG (K). The participants at this National Seminar were very enthusiastic about taking part in this event, in fact, various questions were asked by the participants and of course, the resource persons answered them very clearly.
The aim of this National Seminar activity is to examine the opportunities and challenges of medical education in the new order of life. During this pandemic, of course, there are many challenges to make education the most important, of course by looking at opportunities to ensure that education does not become commonplace in the eyes of society because as we know currently all educational activities are still in the context of “Just at Home”
It is hoped that holding this National Seminar can become a reference for making education the most important by taking advantage of the opportunities that exist and can be utilized by educators. (gel)
