While its adverse impacts on health care setups are conspicuous, coronavirus disease 2019 continues to impede medical education. Exponential increases in the number of cases globally lend to the implementation of a nationwide lockdown. In Europe in general and Ireland in particular, the lockdown significantly limits medical students' clinical exposure and access to clinical sites. For medical students, this portends numerous implications, such as limited patient contact and an inability to explore the various medical and surgical specialties in profundity. Nevertheless, medical students continue to aspire to pursue various specialties-including otolaryngology-for which the clinical contact remains exceedingly limited.
虽然 2019 年冠状病毒病对医疗体系的负面影响显而易见，但它仍在继续阻碍医学教育。全球病例数量呈指数级增长，导致全国范围内实行封锁。在欧洲，尤其是在爱尔兰，封锁极大地限制了医学生的临床接触和进入临床场所的机会。对于医学生来说，这意味着许多影响，例如与患者的接触有限，以及无法深入探索各种医学和外科专业。然而，医学生仍渴望追求各种专业，包括耳鼻喉科，而这些专业的临床接触仍然极为有限。
