The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has caused significant
disruption to undergraduate medical education (UME). Although the immediate
scheduling challenges are being addressed, there has been less discourse
regarding how this pandemic will impact medical students in their preparation for
and application to residency programs. While some historical disasters and
pandemics provide a loose precedent for UME response during COVID-19, the impact
of the current pandemic has surpassed any other events. COVID-19 will likely
impact UME in the suspension of clinical rotations, alterations in grading,
suspension or elimination of away rotations, changes in medical licensing exams,
and ramifications on mental health. This review assesses governing medical
bodies' recommendations regarding UME during the COVID-19 pandemic and how this
may impact preparation for residency. In particular, residency programs will
likely have to create new guidelines for assessing applicants during this unique
cycle.
