Abstract

The National Sexually Transmitted Diseases Curriculum is an e-learning platform. New registrations and learning group creations in March to April 2020 were compared with previous 12-month data. Substantial increases in registrations and learning groups demonstrate that the National Sexually Transmitted Diseases Curriculum was successfully leveraged to meet rapidly shifting training needs due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
