Clinical Trial Summary

Through covid period the concept of distant, online and hybrid learning evolved in reaction to lockdown. This hindered the capability of students to receive and practice on patients as they should do. The current study compared data of two classes that had different education systems because of COVID-19. Class 2020 had nearly a complete online teaching of theoretical part, practical and minimal patient interaction. Class 2021 had the opportunity to try both systems because of partial lockdown in 2020 and complete return to work in 2021.
