Medical education during pandemics: a UK perspective

Abstract

As the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic becomes widespread, its impact on society is becoming more pervasive and is now threatening medical education. Numerous medical schools have suspended all clinical placements and classes with the hopes of mitigating viral transmission. The timing of this disruption is set to have profound consequences as universities, particularly in the UK, are now conducting assessments remotely, and some are considering deferring students due to the inability to carry out teaching and clinical placements. Here, we discuss the different modes of teaching that may be offered during this time.
