The impact of coronavirus infectious disease (COVID-19) on medical education has been substantial. Medical students require considerable clinical exposure. However, due to the risk of COVID-19, the majority of medical schools globally have discontinued their normal activities. The strengths of virtual teaching now include a variety of web-based resources. New interactive forms of virtual teaching are being developed to enable students to interact with patients from their homes. Conversely, students have received decreased clinical training in certain medical and surgical specialities, which may, in turn, reduce their performance, confidence, and abilities as future physicians. We sought to analyze the effect of telemedicine on the quality of medical education in this new emerging era and highlight the benefits and drawbacks of web-based medical training in building up future physicians. The COVID-19 pandemic has posed an unparalleled challenge to medical schools, which are aiming to deliver quality education to students virtually, balancing between evidence-based and experience-based medicine.
冠状病毒传染病（COVID-19）对医学教育的影响是巨大的。医学生需要大量的临床接触。然而，由于 COVID-19 的风险，全球大多数医学院已停止了正常活动。虚拟教学的优势现在包括各种基于网络的资源。正在开发新的互动式虚拟教学形式，使学生能够在家中与患者互动。相反，学生在某些医学和外科专业方面接受的临床培训减少了，这可能反过来降低他们作为未来医生的表现、信心和能力。我们试图在这个新的崭新时代分析远程医疗对医学教育质量的影响，并强调基于网络的医学培训在培养未来医生方面的优势和劣势。COVID-19 大流行给医学院带来了前所未有的挑战，它们旨在通过平衡基于证据和基于经验的医学来为学生提供虚拟的优质教育。
