How effective is virtual teaching during the COVID-19 crisis? A brief review.

  • Robyn-Jenia Wilcha

ABSTRACT

In December 2019, COVID-19 emerged and rapidly transitioned around the world, becoming a global threat to current life. SARS-CoV-2 infection is characterised by a pneumonia of unknown aetiology. Transmission of the virus is high, and as a result, countries around the world have imposed rigorous public health measures, such as quarantine. In the United Kingdom, this has involved the suspension of medical schools. Medical school attachments aid students with the progression of their confidence and competencies as a future doctor. This paper reviews the literature on all available information about the application and effectiveness of virtual teaching for medical students during the COVID-19 pandemic.
