A hybrid remote surgery clerkship curriculum during the COVID-19 pandemic: Lessons learned and future perspectives

The success of the remote clerkshi p curriculum (RCC) mirrors that of others,4,5 and suggests that the adoption of specific elements of e-learning in traditional Surgery clerkships be considered by surgical educators and clerkship directors hereafter.
