“…This may have led to the variation in the number of publications involving medical students. The number of publications regarding the experiences of COVID-19 from medical students from Japan were lacking compared to students from the USA and UK [ 52 , 53 ]. Although this may have been due to clinical inexperience during the primary period of the pandemic, the lessons and the legacy of all experiences of the pandemic should be recorded, especially to prepare for similar circumstances in the future.…”

“…Secondly, we observed a significant discrepancy in the number of references available for citation. Although case reports in the UK, USA and Australia could be found in several databases, resources for medical education in Japan were scarce [ 52 ], particularly in regard to references in English [ 53 ].

The novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic has dramatically changed education systems as most governments around the world closed schools to prevent outbreaks on campus. Medical education was not immune from these policies, and medical students were deprived of opportunities, particularly in clinical training. To determine how countries worldwide have responded to the pandemic, we conducted a literature review of the policies and guidelines of four countries: Japan, the United States (USA), the United Kingdom (UK) and Australia, as well as case reports of faculty and medical students up to September, 2020. Although the methods of implementation were unique to each country, the concept of “returning medical students to live education as quickly and safely as possible” was common. However, the extent to which students and faculty members became engaged in the treatment process of COVID-19 varied. While some countries endorsed students to work as members of medical staff to treat COVID-19, other countries took measures to ensure the safety of both medical students and patients. We await further reports worldwide in order to better understand the strategies employed by different nations in preparation for future possible infection outbreaks.
