Virtual meeting platforms, such as Zoom, have become essential to medical education during the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic. However, many medical educators do not have experience planning or leading these sessions. Despite the prevalence of Zoom learning, there has been little published on best practices. In this article we describe best practices for using Zoom for remote learning, acknowledging technical considerations, and recommending workflows for designing and implementing virtual sessions. Furthermore, we discuss the important role of cognitive learning theory and how to incorporate these key pedagogical insights into a successful virtual session. While eventually in-person classrooms will open, virtual teaching will remain a component of medical education. If we utilize these inventive tools creatively and functionally, then virtual learning can augment and elevate the practice of medical education.

在 SARS-CoV-2 大流行期间，Zoom 等虚拟会议平台已成为医学教育必不可少的工具。然而，许多医学教育者没有规划或领导这些课程的经验。尽管 Zoom 学习盛行，但关于最佳实践的文章却很少。在本文中，我们描述了使用 Zoom 进行远程学习的最佳实践，承认技术注意事项，并推荐用于设计和实施虚拟会话的工作流。此外，我们讨论了认知学习理论的重要作用以及如何将这些关键的教学见解融入成功的虚拟课程中。虽然最终会开放面对面的课堂，但虚拟教学仍将是医学教育的一个组成部分。如果我们创造性地和功能性地利用这些创造性的工具，
