Abstract
Introduction The COVID-19 pandemic has spread globally
and has been reported in every known country. The effects
can be felt in universities and schools, shifting their
learning to online platforms. However, medical schools
bear the burden of protecting students and ensuring the
continuation of the education process. The rapid transition
to online learning, coupled with the lack of preparation
from the educational system, leads to stresses that affect
students’ academic performance, mental health and
social life. Nevertheless, no review tried to synthesise the
complete picture of the pandemic’s effects. Therefore, this
scoping review aims to identify and explore the available
literature on the effects or impacts of the pandemic on
medical students without limiting it to specific dimensions.
Methods This review was conducted according to the
Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and
Meta-Analyses extension for Scoping Reviews and the
Joanna Briggs Institute manual for evidence synthesis.
We examine articles reporting data from any country.
However, only articles written in English will be included.
For studies to be included, they must report any form of
impact on medical students, qualitatively or quantitatively.
Furthermore, the impact must occur within the context
of the COVID-19 pandemic. Searches will be done on
Medline, EMBASE, ERIC, the Cochrane Library, CINAHL
and PsycInfo. After data extraction, we will narratively
synthesise the data and explore the types of impacts
COVID-19 has on medical students.
