| description | As coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic continues to spread across the world, it is also adversely affecting medical student education. In addition, COVID-19 poses several challenges to medical students’ physical and mental health and their professional identity formation.

It is therefore important to safeguard their mental health and implement effective strategies to support their educational, physical, mental, and professional well-being. |
