“…American medical student, writing that most of their lectures were already recorded online pre-pandemic and hence there was no major shift in learning modality unlike what has been faced in my part of the world. 1 The rapid implantation of such a teaching pedagogy has been a huge adjustment for students and teachers alike to learn from and deal with software such as 'Google Classroom'. Another problem is that online case discussions or even patient simulations in the rare instances that such software is available simply cannot replace handson clinical training.…”

“…1 Similar to the experience of medical students in Europe, North America and Asia, we were pulled from clerkships and our learning quickly transitioned to virtual lectures and clinics.

As medical students, we felt the burden of COVID-19 in two distinct waves. The first wave brought with it a loss of opportunity and the immense sadness that came with the understanding that we would move forth without ever compensating for such experiences. As clerkships and licensing exams were slowly canceled, we struggled to find ways to fill our days and continue to remain strong postgraduate candidates. It was not long before our personal losses became insignificant in the face of the global trajectory COVID-19 took and the burden of the pandemic impinged on our vulnerabilities. Suddenly, we were facing a significant loss of life and the fear of ill-health was ever-present. This challenged our identity as medical students and forced us to identify as global citizens who were also susceptible to the threat of the pandemic. It also forced us to uphold our health and well-being just as we had pledged to hold the health and well-being of others and to include ourselves in our commitment to a lifetime of service.

[4][5][6] In my country, the National Health Service (NHS) moved into major-incident mode forcing the university to quickly mobilise to deliver an unprecedented online curriculum. 7 Overhauling the delivery of the curriculum is no easy feat as our fourth year is entirely clinical with very few lectures scattered throughout the year.…”
