“…Additionally, intensive anatomy and clinical skills workshops, building on online learning resources, can be run when students return to in-person teaching to address deskilling and imposter syndrome concerns (58). Virtual tools such as virtual reality simulations, homemade simulations and smartphone modalities could benefit surgical trainees (46,87).…”

Medical students are the future of sustainable health systems that are severely under pressure during COVID-19. The disruption in medical education and training has adversely impacted traditional medical education and medical students and is likely to have long-term implications beyond COVID-19. In this article, we present a comprehensive analysis of the existing structural and systemic challenges applicable to medical students and teaching/training programs and the impact of COVID-19 on medical students and education. Use of technologies such as telemedicine or remote education platforms can minimize increased mental health risks to this population. An overview of challenges during and beyond the COVID-19 pandemic are also discussed, and targeted recommendations to address acute and systemic issues in medical education and training are presented. During the transition from conventional in-person or classroom teaching to tele-delivery of educational programs, medical students have to navigate various social, economic and cultural factors which interfere with their personal and academic lives. This is especially relevant for those from vulnerable, underprivileged or minority backgrounds. Students from vulnerable backgrounds are influenced by environmental factors such as unemployment of themselves and family members, lack of or inequity in provision and access to educational technologies and remote delivery-platforms, and increased levels of mental health stressors due to prolonged isolation and self-quarantine measures. Technologies for remote education and training delivery as well as sustenance and increased delivery of general well-being and mental health services to medical students, especially to those at high-risk, are pivotal to our response to COVID-19 and beyond.

“…Medical residency programs are being impaired, specifically in surgical specialties such as OBGYN. Home surgical skill training is one of the available options that could be offered to alleviate these issues 3 . FEBRASGO intends to broaden this survey to address all medical residents in order to understand their perspective about this issue, and to help PDs to resolve issues pertaining to the lack of hands‐on training.…”

Male-perpetrated intimate partner violence (IPV) gravely impacts the lives of women, girls, and their families. Approximately 25%-40% of Mexican women who use health services have reported physical, sexual, and/or psychological IPV at some point during their lives. 1 Recent research has positioned reproductive coercion, a behavior that interferes with women's contraceptive and fertility choices, as a form of IPV. 2 While multiple acts of violence and coercion can occur in the same context (e.g., intimate relationship), it is important to WilliE ET AL.

“…(3) Host virtual careers evenings or mentorship programs, ensuring that mentors of a diverse background are recruited (4) Host online 'follow-along' surgical skills workshops with instructions on how to make homemade low-cost simulation models [14], and allow opportunities for tutors to provide live feedback Student confidence in performing crucial practical skills needs to be addressed urgently prior to graduation. Schools that organise their surgical blocks for students in a single semester are affected the most, as it will be the only opportunity for students to have dedicated time in surgery.…”
