2019冠状病毒病（COVID-19）大流行扰乱了传统医学教育，加速了向数字平台和开放获取出版的转变。流变学是一门快速发展的学科，它将从这一转变中获益。大多数风湿病学教科书现在都有数字格式，并与UpToDate和ClinicalKey等实时更新的教育中心相辅相成。所有专家均可免费获取这些专有平台上的新冠肺炎话题。社交媒体渠道，特别是Twitter，通过提供在线期刊俱乐部，使有影响力的文章能够快速传播，并促进互动教育，正在成为COVID-19时代的主要参与者。反过来，索引流变学期刊通过开放访问建议和其他材料来帮助在线教育，这些材料正在迅速改变全球的研究和实践。研究同行评议还为新手和经验丰富的研究人员和作者提供了学习经验。全球风湿病学会拥有在线学习资源，这些资源正在改变其形式和地理覆盖范围，以满足大流行时期不断变化的需求。虽然在线教学缺乏导师和学员之间的情感联系，但转向更具互动性的教育形式和定期联系可能会部分解决这个问题。修辞学家可以在这些充满挑战的时代发挥带头作用，为旨在维护和丰富教育的在线学术活动做出更多贡献。
The coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has unsettled conventional medical education, hastening a switch to digital platforms and open-access publishing. Rheumatology is a fast evolving academic discipline that stands to gain by this switch. Most rheumatology textbooks are now available in digital formats, and these are complemented with live updating educational hubs such as UpToDate and ClinicalKey. Emerging topics of COVID-19 on these proprietary platforms are now freely available to all specialists. Social media channels, particularly Twitter, are becoming major players in the era of COVID-19 by offering online journal clubs, enabling fast dissemination of influential articles, and facilitating interactive education. Indexed rheumatology journals, in turn, aid online education by opening access to recommendations and other materials that are rapidly changing research and practice worldwide. Research peer review additionally offers learning experience to novice and seasoned researchers and authors. Global rheumatology societies have online learning resources, which are changing their format and geographic reach to meet the changing needs in the times of pandemic. While online teaching lacks emotional connections between mentors and mentees, switch to a more interactive format of education and regular contacts may partly solve the issue. Rheumatologists can take the lead in these challenging times and contribute more to online scholarly activities which are aimed to maintain and enrich education.
