COVID-19 Pandemic and Medical Education in a Developing Country |Biomedgrid

In March 2020, the World Health Organization considered coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19) as a worldwide pandemic [1]. This leads to serious effects on medical education in medical schools. Medical students are potentially susceptible to COVID-19 owing to their contact with in-patients during the clinical teaching classes and their common rotation between the hospital depart ments [2]. Closure of medical schools and continuing the educational process from home for both staff and students became urgent to ensure social distancing.
