- Abstract
COVID-19 pandemic drastically affected the delivery mode of rehabilitation services, with significant shifts from in-person to remote service provision. The authors and researchers developed distance learning webinars designed to address the knowledge, skill, and resource gaps necessary to provide remote rehabilitation services during the COVID-19 pandemic. Three targeted training outcome goals were evaluated before and after the virtual training sessions and included practitioners’ 1) understanding the skillset necessary for providing remote services, 2) ability to identify strategies to use the skills, and 3) confidence in applying these skills in their work. Training sessions were provided to 228 trainees over the course of 13months. Evaluations from the 47 participants who responded to pre- and post-training surveys were largely positive and indicated that they experienced improvements in their understanding and application of the skills taught in the core content areas of remote career services training. Recommendations for future development and evaluation of remote trainings for rehabilitation practitioners are shared.
