description The COVID-19 pandemic confronted the medical community worldwide with numerous challenges, not only with respect to medical care, but also for teaching the next generation of physicians. To minimize the risk of infections patient-unrelated classes can be held digitally. Here we present a student initiated, web-based teaching approach, called “From symptom to diagnosis”. In this seminar case reports of rare diseases were presented to the audience in a symptom-focused manner. The patients´ most significant symptoms were presented, followed by an in-depth discussion about differential diagnosis. First glance diagnosis pictures were shown to improve students´ ability to identify important clinical scenarios. We used chat functions as well as an audience response system to make the seminar more interactive. By this we attracted between 71 and 147 participants per session. The online seminar was very well perceived and 97% of the students saw an improvement of their diagnostic skills. In summary, we successfully established an interactive, web-based teaching format for medical students.
