Significant and unprecedented changes to assessment methods have been made, given the risk of students undertaking examinations in close proximity to other students and patients. However, there has been a heterogeneous approach adopted by medical schools. Some have delayed or expedited examinations, while some have opted to cancel them entirely and use previous summative and formative performance to enable award of the medical degree. To prevent spread to potentially vulnerable patient volunteers, examinations on real patients have been replaced with screen-based assessments; video footage of physical signs were played to candidates for them to identify and interpret. Some medical schools have also opted to remove written assessments and replaced these with remote online, open book assessments for both clinical and preclinical medical students [4]. To further mitigate the risk to patients and students alike, clinical placements and ward-based teaching have been suspended until further notice for all other year groups. Students have also had their elective placements cancelled due to international travel restrictions, and several medical schools have removed the elective program as a prerequisite in obtaining the medical degree.
