- Description
- The emergence of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) has resulted in unprecedented challenges to hospitals, the community and society. Although the necessary focus has been to care for patients and communities, the profound effects of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) have disrupted medical education and required intense and prompt attention from medical educators. COVID-19 poses unique challenges to the clinical clerkship model that is fundamental to medical students’ education and has the potential to change forever how future physicians are educated. For more than a decade, medical schools have been working to transform pedagogy by reducing live face-to-face didactic lectures; using technology and simulation; implementing team-facilitated, active and self-directed learning; and promoting individualised and interprofessional education.2, 3 However, as described by Sir William Osler, clinical teaching of medical students at the bedside remains vitally important: “to study the phenomena of disease without books is to sail an uncharted sea, while to study without patients is not to go to sea at all”.4 Medical graduates must function in a team-based, collaborative work environment, have sound knowledge and clinical skills, and have a capacity for lifelong learning.
