Some final year students have been allowed to continue clinical placement but are left to determine what risk they are willing to accept in order to graduate. Several countries have accelerated final year medical students to the level of intern during the pandemic (5, 6) . The COVID-19 pandemic presents a dynamic situation, making it difficult for faculty, health services and the government to plan and deliver new strategies for education and support of medical students. However, medical students are also being significantly affected and many are willing to contribute to the effort against COVID-19. The authors hope to highlight the effect on and potential contribution that the medical student cohort can offer in these unprecedented times. ./cache/cord-347645-xj4p68ba.txt ./txt/cord-347645-xj4p68ba.txt
