Medical students' value-rich exposures in clinical setting during the COVID-19 pandemic

Abstract

Exposing medical students to real-world situations and clinical practice experiences during their education years can help them build their professional value frameworks. The COVID-19 pandemic is one of the most challenging conditions that medical students have experienced; however, this pandemic have provided value-rich opportunities assisting in development and enhancement of their professional identity. This commentary aimed to emphasize the importance of medical students’ exposure to clinical practice during the pandemic and the potential that such encounters provide for internalizing values.
