Students aspiring for career in medicine should brace for new challenges
The COVID-19 has highlighted the deficiencies and challenges in our healthcare sector. Healthcare professionals are facing new obstacles and it shows us what we have done in the medical field so far is not enough. The pandemic has had an unprecedented impact on medical education worldwide, leading to the cancellation of lectures, clinical rotations, and temporary closure of medical colleges and institutions.
As the pandemic has global magnitude, naturally there is a global effort to contain it. There is a lot of learning from this for the medical students in terms of newer skills and attitudes. Most experts are convinced that these skills and attitudes will be even more crucial in the coming years.
In the changing scenario, the role of the doctor must constantly evolve to meet the needs of an unpredictably changing environment and to fulfill the needs of society. Therefore, medical students should prepare to engage in such cases in the future.
