Background Little is known about using telehealth patient visits as an educational mode. Therefore, rapid implementation of telehealth during the COVID-19 pandemic had to be done without understanding how to optimize telehealth for education. With the likely sustained/post-pandemic use of telehealth in ambulatory patient care, filling gaps in our understanding of how telehealth can be used for instruction in this context is critical. This study sought to understand perceptions of pediatric postgraduate trainees and supervisors on the use of telehealth for instruction in ambulatory settings with the goal of identifying effective ways to enhance learning during telehealth visits. Methods In May–June of 2020, the authors purposefully sampled first- and third-year postgraduate trainees and supervising attendings from pediatric fellowship programs at one institution that implemented telehealth for instructional activities. They conducted semi-structured interviews; interviews lasted a median of 51 min (trainees) and 41 min (supervisors). They conducted interviews and data analysis iteratively until reaching saturation. Using thematic analysis, they created codes and constructed themes from coded data. They organized themes using the Replace-Amplify-Transform (RAT) model, which proposes that technology can replace in-person learning and/or amplify and transform learning. Results First-year trainees ( n  = 6), third-year trainees ( n  = 5) and supervisors (n = 6) initially used telehealth to replace in-person learning. However, skills that could be practiced in telehealth visits differed from in-person visits and instructional activities felt rushed or awkward. Trainees and supervisors adapted and used telehealth to amplify learning by enhancing observation and autonomy. They also transformed learning, using telehealth to develop novel skills. Conclusions To harness telehealth for instructional activities, our findings indicated that trainees and supervisors should shift from using it as a direct replacement for in-person education to taking advantage of novel opportunities to amplify and transform education in PGME. The authors provide data-driven recommendations to help PGME trainees, supervisors and educators capitalize on the educational advantages of telehealth.
