Since
the appearance of the first cases of Covid-19 in Malaysia in January 2020,
there has been tremendous disruption to on-site clinical training for
undergraduate students in the University Malaya Medical Programme (UMMP). It is
imperative that medical students are provided with an orientation to changes in
the clinical learning environment since the advent of the pandemic to minimise
the risk of infection transmission in the clinical setting. Students need to be
updated on changes in clinical management of patients in Malaysia since the
advent of the pandemic and understand their role in safe patient care. The
pandemic has had a major impact on health care in every discipline in medicine.
As future health care professionals, medical students need to be equipped with
knowledge of a pandemic that has had a major impact on the health of
communities globally. Students have an opportunity to understand the importance
of public health and real-life application of public health principles in the
context of management of the pandemic.
