• In Event: RTD- COVID Responses and Impacts (v)

Short Description

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, medical faculty have had to make radical changes to their teaching by utilizing virtual online platforms and teaching from home. This presentation will review a study that found that the pandemic has caused faculty (N = 132) to become significantly more fatigued (p < .0005) and anxious (p < .0005). This study has future implications because faculty’s’ technostress levels are increasing due to lack of technical support and increasing digitization.
