| Summary: | The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic
has resulted in many changes to medical education,
including the site and mode of teaching, conducting of
examinations and a shift towards prioritising the mastery
of clinical skills relevant to infection control. Hence,
Ng et al.’s suggestions on how to maximise learning in
preparation for the final year medical school examinations
piqued our interest.1
As the pandemic becomes endemic,
some of these changes emphasised in the delivery of
education are likely to stay, perhaps longer than expected
when they were first implemented as interim measures
at the height of the pandemic. Furthermore, these
changes have impacted medical students at all levels,
including students who had begun their educational
journeys during the pandemic itself (“COVIDgeneration” medical students, as we identify ourselves).
In this letter, we propose additional strategies that may
be of utility to younger medical students and their
educators (Fig. 1). |
