rather than just memorize facts. We've asked ourselves questions such as "Do I have the courage to put my life in danger to save others?", "How can I convince others to follow medical protocol despite their personal beliefs?", and "What does medicine mean to me?"

Due to the pandemic, medical students in their preclinical years have withstood the flurry of "high yield" facts while crystallizing their personal goals and motivations in medicine to an unusually mature extent. These observations then prompt an immediate follow-up question, for which there is no easy answer. How can we ensure that such growth and vision are solidified in the early years of medical school for future classes once traditional education resumes?
