 Our paper examines the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on medical education and health education. We found that medical students are more susceptible to stress and anxiety due to the fear of contracting the virus and social distancing. To cope with this, we suggest that students should practice self-control and engage in activities that promote physical and mental well-being. Furthermore, we propose several measures to improve medical education systems, including curriculum adaptation, technology integration, faculty development, student support, and interprofessional collaboration.
