Abstract: 

Objective: The COVID-19 pandemic also called for the teaching of practical skills to develop teaching formats outside of classroom teaching.

Methods: Selected physical examination techniques (musculoskeletal system, neurological system) were taught via video conference using a modified Peyton method. The core element was the mutual, real demonstration of the respective skill by student tutor and student with immediate possible correction.

Results: The IT requirements turned out to be sufficient, direct feedback from tutors and students was positive.

Conclusion: Whether this method can be a substitute for classroom courses must be evaluated in more extensive studies.
