“…Survey questions were developed by a team consisting of three medical students, three psychiatry residents, and three psychiatry professors. We reviewed the previous literature (6,9), and developed questions to explore the attitude of medical students about their role during the current pandemic and medical education in the "new normal" situation. The questions focused on three domains of interest, namely, (1) the roles of medical students in the pandemic era, (2) medical education in the "new normal, " and (3) the impact of COVID-19 on medical students.…”

Background: In this study, we aimed to explore the attitude of medical students toward their role and social accountability in this pandemic era. An online survey was developed to elicit information on (1) the role of medical students in the pandemic era; (2) Medical education in the “new normal,” and (3) the impact of COVID-19 on medical students.Methods: The online survey, developed by a team consisting of three medical students, three psychiatry residents, and three professors of psychiatry, was conducted on 574 participants (213 medical students, 180 graduates, and 181 professors) in the University of Ulsan College of Medicine, Seoul, South Korea. Anxiety symptom rating scales, including the Stress and Anxiety to Viral Epidemics-6 (SAVE-6) scale and the Generalized Anxiety Disorder−7 (GAD-7) scale, were applied to measure participant anxiety level.Results: Medical students indicated their willingness to join the healthcare response to the COVID-19 pandemic, if requested; however, graduates and professors recommended that medical students continue their training rather than join the pandemic healthcare response. In the new normal era, medical education has had to change appropriately. Moreover, adequate knowledge of COVID-19 infection and spread must be considered for the continuation of clinical clerkships during the pandemic. Overall, medical students who indicated anxiety about treating possible or confirmed cases of COVID-19 rated higher on the SAVE-6 scale. Finally, medical students who reported that COVID-19 had an impact on their studies and daily life rated higher on the general anxiety scale (GAD-7).Conclusion: Social accountability is an important issue for medical students in the pandemic era. At the same time, non-disruption of their academic calendar would ensure continuous availability of component medical professionals, which is important for adequate future healthcare responses.

The pandemic has posed many challenges for the academic continuity of clinical training. The social responsibility of universities and the professionalism of physicians inspired residents on taking the leadership in the front line of COVID-19. Their direct involvement in patient care required the establishment of protocols to offer mentoring and support services for self-care and mental health strategies to prevent burnout. The objective of this study was to describe the design and implementation of a comprehensive strategy to transform the Multicentric Program of postgraduate medical education in northern Mexico to continue academic and clinical training activities amid the pandemic. The participants in this study include six training centers which represent 290 physicians in 17 medical specialties programs. The results of the designed strategy focus on three specific activities: 1) offering formal curricular elements through online platforms and mobile devices, 2) adaptative clinical training for the residents participating directly in SARS-Cov2 patient care, and 3) specific training on COVID-19 for all participants on patient safety protocols and use of protective equipment. All 17 programs achieved academic continuity by the use of digital platforms. The protection and safety of the educational community were privileged with the purpose of training by providing residents specific safety training on COVID-19, personal protection equipment, periodical PCR testing and by the vaccination strategy. The responsibility and responsiveness of educational institutions to address the challenges to continue the clinical training during the health crisis will significantly affect the educational results and preparedness of the next generation of health professionals. The commitment of universities should be beyond academic continuity or sharing content online, it should address as well self-care and wellbeing strategies that could provide graduates with the skills that are essential to thrive in the current pandemic.

“…Particularly in medical education, the Mexican Association of Faculties and Schools of Medicine (AMFEM) and the Association of American Medical Colleges (AAMC) recommended the temporary suspension of clinical activities given that in addition to compromising the health of undergraduate students, they did not have the necessary skills to face the pandemic [1][2][3][4]. The National School of Medicine and Health Sciences (EMCS) of the Tecnológico de Monterrey withdrew the students from hospital and outpatient areas of the degrees of Nutrition and Comprehensive Well-being (LNB), Surgeon Odontologist (MO), and Surgeon (MC) as of March 17, being the first Mexican institution to take this measure [5][6][7][8].…”
