These students reported difficulties with eye contact and reading body language/non-verbal cues of the ESSP. In this project report, we describe a telemedicine lecture that we included in the 2021 course and compare students’ reported difficulties during the online medical interview for two years. The 2021 cohort reported significantly less difficulties with eye contact than the 2020 cohort, and a similar trend was found for reading body language/nonverbal cues and creating rapport with the ESSP. While possible third variables, such as 2021 cohort’s greater comfort in using teleconference platforms, may limit the interpretation of these results, we conclude that Japanese medical students can clearly benefit from the inclusion of telemedicine education into the medical curriculum as online healthcare services become the “new normal” in Japan.","PeriodicalId":14029,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Medical Education","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.1,"publicationDate":"2022-09-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"90278915","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

On top of educational changes, medical students adapted to their support network, finances, and mental and physical health changes. Objective: To understand the holistic impact of COVID-19 on medical students and medical education and identify how to distribute resources during future educational disruptions in a large medical university in the United States. Methods: An anonymous online survey was distributed to medical students at Sidney Kimmel Medical College, Philadelphia, in February 2021. Participants self-reported the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on their medical education, family life, financial burden, mental health, and physical health. Results: 168 out of 1088 students at Sidney Kimmel Medical College completed the survey, with 58% (98/168) of the respondents identifying as female. The class breakdown was as follows: 38% (63/168) first years, 18% (31/168) second years, 21% (36/168) third years, 20% (34/168) fourth years, and 2% (4/168) were considered “other” (including research year, Master’s program). A total of 28% of respondents reported developing new mental illness, with second years having the highest incidence at 39%. In total, 42% said the pandemic affected a previous mental health condition. Further, 96% of third and fourth years reported COVID-19 affected their clinical rotations. In total, 68% of first years reported their entrance to medical school was severely affected. Moreover, 13% reported losing a family member due to COVID-19, and 7% reported personal sickness due to COVID-19. Additionally, 16% reported incurring a financial burden due to the pandemic. Conclusion: COVID-19 impacted the well-being of students by affecting their mental health and financial burdens. Clinical rotations and medical school entrance were the most problematic aspects. In the future setting of major educational disruptions, this study provides a starting point for where to focus resources, mental health support, financial support, and academic flexibility.","PeriodicalId":14029,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Medical Education","volume":"33 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.1,"publicationDate":"2022-08-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"88147072","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
