Abstract
Background: In the innovative seminar "Peer-support and Patient Competence", which was conceived as a face to face course, we teach various concepts of patient competence and invite patients to report about their illness experience and peer-group activities. Method: Implementation of a face to face course into a virtual format via video conference. Result: Despite concerns regarding the sensitive topic and technical challenges, the conversion of the seminar with interactive character, which was originally designed in a face-to-face format, into a virtual one was successful. Both lecturers and participants experienced the seminar as satisfactory. Conclusion: In times of Covid-19, this virtual course experience can encourage colleagues to restructure their face to face seminars into innovative and virtual teaching formats.
