The ongoing pandemic of Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) has affected >2 million patients with approximately 900,000 cases in the United States alone. Medical education has possibly suffered during this time, due to disease mitigation strategies and stress on both students and teachers. We aimed to quantify the publications describing the impact of COVID-19 on medical education in the early stage of the pandemic.
Abstract and titles related to COVID-19 listed in PubMed were reviewed for an educational focus. Articles with an educational focus were further evaluated for characteristics of content.
Out of a total of 3641 articles related to COVID-19, only 26 (0.7%) articles had an educational theme. Thirteen articles were pertaining to residency and fellowship education and twelve articles were focused on medical student education. Only one article referred to nursing education.
Publications pertaining to medical education during the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic are few. There is an urgent need for scholarship to understand the best processes and develop innovative methods that can help improve the educational experience of students and trainees during this extraordinary time.
2019 年冠状病毒病（COVID-19）的持续大流行已经影响了超过 200 万患者，仅在美国就有约 90 万例。由于疾病缓解策略以及学生和教师的压力，医学教育在此期间可能受到了影响。我们旨在量化描述 COVID-19 对大流行早期医学教育影响的出版物。
在 PubMed 中对与 COVID-19 相关的摘要和标题进行了审查，以确定其是否具有教育重点。具有教育重点的文章进一步评估了其内容特征。
在总共 3641 篇与 COVID-19 相关的文章中，仅有 26 篇（0.7%）文章具有教育主题。其中 13 篇与住院医师和专科医师培训教育有关，12 篇与医学生教育有关。只有一篇文章提到了护理教育。
目前有关 COVID-19 大流行期间医学教育的出版物很少。迫切需要开展学术研究，以了解最佳流程并开发创新方法，从而帮助在这个特殊时期改善学生和受训者的教育体验。
