Medical schools have had to come up with unique ways to continue to educate future physicians during the lockdowns and pandemic restrictions. This has not been an easy process, and it remains to be seen the long term effect of those who had to go through medical school during the pandemic. However, there will certainly be long-lasting changes to the ways in which we educate medical school students forever after. This article lists 5 ways in which medical school education will be impacted by the Covid-19 pandemic. They are an emphasis on public health, real-time curriculum adaptation, potential to reevaluate graduation requirements, changes in residency selection, and new approach to crisis management. It will be interesting to see how these things impact the quality of physicians down the road.
