that online discussions went with minimal difficulty. Around 37% residents completed their scientific work
as scheduled, but 55.7% finished less than 30% of task. Most participants (75.4%) declared that the health

Abstract
Background In the last 1.5 years, there were some periods of lockdown due to Covid-19 pandemic that
impacted residency training at Faculty of Medicine Universitas Indonesia. This report describes the adaptation
to Allergy-Immunology rotation pediatric residency. Methods Allergy-Immunology module originally
consisted of orientation (introduction lecture, topic discussion), practice (ward, clinic, emergency department
(ED)), evaluation (journal reading, written examination, and case-based discussion). We adjusted our clinical
care into clustering and borderless approach. The residents in Allergy-Immunology rotation cared for patients
in ED, ward, and outpatient clusters, including allergy immunology patients. The difference in pandemic era
was the implementation of flipped classroom (FC). We held case discussion related to the topics from prior
distributed electronic learning materials. We compared the number of cases achieved, rate of immediate
completion, and grades of the residents before and during pandemic. Results We included 35 residents before
pandemic rotation, and 35 residents during pandemic. The number of cases decreased, especially for allergy
cases. We overcome this problem with allergy case discussions and quiz (FC method). However, the number
of cases for autoimmune and immunodeficiency diseases reached the minimal requirement. The rate of
immediate completion before pandemic was 88.5% vs 85.7% after pandemic (P=0.9), with the mean of grades
was 76.3 (SD 2.7) vs. 77.8 (SD 3.5) (P=0.05). Conclusions During the pandemic era, residents in Allergy
Immunology rotation met minimal requirement for autoimmune and immunodeficiency cases, but lower
number of allergy cases. However, the rate of completion of first taker and mean of grade were not different.
