With the ongoing coronavirus, journals and the media have extensively covered the impacts on doctors, nurses, physician assistants, and other healthcare workers. However, one group that has rarely been mentioned despite being significantly impacted is medical students and medical education overall. This piece, prepared by both a medical student and a cardiothoracic surgeon with a long career in academic medicine, discusses the recent history of medical education and how it has led to issues now with distance-based learning due to COVID-19. It concludes with a call to action for the medical education system to adapt so it can meet the needs of healthcare learners during COVID-19 and even beyond.
随着新冠疫情的持续，期刊和媒体广泛报道了疫情对医生、护士、医师助理及其他医护人员的影响。然而，尽管受到严重影响，但很少被提及的一个群体是医学生以及整个医学教育。这篇文章由一名医学生和一位在学术医学领域有着长期职业生涯的心胸外科医生共同撰写，探讨了医学教育的近期历史，以及由于新冠疫情，它是如何导致目前基于远程学习的问题的。文章最后呼吁医学教育系统进行调整，以便在新冠疫情期间乃至之后都能满足医学生的需求。
