Summary: This paper explores healthcare students' and educators' adaptability experiences to remote education during the COVID-19 pandemic. Findings indicate that students are less adaptable than educators, but some students still manage to adapt well to the new learning environment. Limited social learning, traditional teaching methods, and a lack of technical and non-technical skills are identified as factors that impact the experience of both students and educators. Navigating the challenges of remote education provides a unique opportunity for students and educators to improve their adaptability, which is critical for future uncertainties in healthcare practice.

Summary: Using transformative learning theory, this study explores the experiences of medical trainees during the COVID-19 pandemic. The results indicate that self-awareness was the most prominent outcome, followed by changes in action, while openness and worldview shifts were the least significant. Cognitive rational and social critique processes were more prominent than extrarational processes. Students were more likely than housestaff to experience transformative learning through the social critique process. Qualitative analysis identified negative changes as the most common response, with students reporting more negative changes than housestaff. Only a small percentage of reported changes could be defined as transformative.
