Evaluations: There were no evaluations collected, however this talk was cited by residents as an example of excellent adaptation to virtual learning in the setting of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.

Reflections: This educational session was a 45 minute session as part of the Academic Half Day curriculum for internal medicine residents. This talk had to be adapted from an in-person setting to a virtual setting due to the COVID-19 pandemic. With the constraints of a virtual format I worked to utilize the chat functions and online polling in order to maximize engagement, which can be particularly difficult in a digital format. This was also a challenge in presented data on a relatively new entity in a practical way for residents.
