Abstract

As the COVID-19 outbreak has rapidly transitioned into a global pandemic with serious implications for public. Frequent rotations between the public creates potential vectors for COVID-19. Equally, as trainee doctors we stand to learn a tremendous amount and can contribute to the care of patients. The immediate concern is the impact of COVID-19 on medical education. The effect of COVID-19 on medical education could therefore be considerably important. Hence the use of emergent technology for education, such as artificial intelligence for adaptive learning and virtual reality, are very likely to be essential components of the transformative change and the future of medical education.
