Explaining Faculty Members' Experiences of Clinical Education During the COVID‐19 Pandemic: A Qualitative Study

The study delineates a three-phase adaptation trajectory-through confronting challenges, navigating changes, and implementing problem-solving strategies-that enabled faculty to sustain clinical education during the pandemic. These experiences yield critical, actionable recommendations for future crisis preparedness. We recommend that institutions integrate hybrid clinical training models and develop formal faculty development programs focused on digital pedagogy and crisis management. Embedding these evidence-based strategies into medical education policy is crucial for building a resilient and equitable clinical education system capable of withstanding future disruptions.
