[Has the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic improved teaching?-Virtual education in otorhinolaryngology from the students' perspective].

Background: The Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus type 2 (SARS-CoV‑2) pandemic has significantly changed the education of medical students. Due to the contact restrictions and the associated requirement for distance learning, digital teaching formats had to be implemented within a short period of time. The aim of our work was to analyze student evaluation data for virtual teaching in otorhinolaryngology (ORL) during the SARS-CoV‑2 pandemic and to compare the data with previously obtained evaluation data under face-to-face conditions.
