The pandemic necessitated a rapid change to online health professions education provision. Driven by social distancing, travel restrictions, and competing demands on healthcare professionals' time, online health professions learning quickly moved from "nice to have" to necessity. Now, we begin the next phase of online discovery- moving from using online because "we have to" towards because "we want to". Our challenge will remain how to effectively use different delivery methods to enable effective teaching principles and consider how several issues such as copyright and inclusivity need to be reconsidered. This interactive webinar will review the current definitions and evidence of blended and hybrid learning, explore different models and taxonomies for multi-component health professional education, and challenge participants to consider how we need to be thinking differently about healthcare education provision, moving towards a "better" normal. By the end of this session, participants will be able to: 1. Define the difference between blended and hybrid learning, and state the evidence currently available for online and blended delivery methods 2. Layer traditional health professionals' education on models/taxonomies for online/blended/hybrid delivery, to consider new and different approaches to education delivery 3. Analyze what features of online health professional education provision we wish to retain, what we want to discard (or go back to traditional methods) and what we are willing to rethink altogether
