AbstractBackground: Many General Practitioners (GPs) are unable to manage musculoskeletal disorders, chronic diseases, and disabilities. Objectives: This study aimed to design, implement, and evaluate a virtual Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation (PMR) course for medical students during the COVID-19 pandemic. Methods: This pre-experimental study used the ADDIE model. The statistical population was all fifth-semester medical students of Kashan University of Medical Sciences, Iran, who chose the PMR course in 2020 - 2021. Educational content and exams in the two fields of musculoskeletal and rehabilitation were virtually compiled. Learners were evaluated based on their knowledge (with exams), attitudes, and satisfaction (with researcher-made questionnaires). Data were analyzed using SPSS16 software with descriptive statistics. Results: The final exam scores of nearly half of the 55 learners were above 17. About 80% of the students had a positive attitude, and 75% of them were satisfied at the end of the course. They believed this course is a suitable link between the basic and clinical fields, and acquiring rehabilitation skills is necessary for GPs. Conclusions: Combining musculoskeletal with rehabilitation topics, not neglecting practical aspects such as physical examination, and using educational videos led to the improvement of students’ knowledge, attitude, and satisfaction during the COVID-19 pandemic.en
