Teaching Narratives during the Pandemic

Abstract

During the COVID-19 pandemic, several studies sought to understand its impact on specific groups. However, we were unable to find any studies involving medical teachers. This qualitative study shows that, as well as being a research instrument, the interview provides a space for listening and otherness. We listened to 28 teachers in interviews that were recorded, transcribed and analyzed. We identified three categories: retrospective; meetings; and a space for speaking and listening - narratives full of sensitivity. We present a mosaic of memories and reflections from both the teachers and the interviewer, demonstrating what it was like to be a medical teacher during this period.
