The challenges of transition to HE in a lock-down world: A MEDIC perspective

This presentation from the 2021 Learning & Teaching Conference highlights the outcomes of two Undergraduate-led research studies investigating the lived experiences of Year 1 students in the School of Medicine during the locked-down academic year. Typically, the cohort of Medical Students is a tight and supportive learning community. This talk looks at the impact of the COVID lock-down on the development of social interactions, confidence, engagement with learning activities and the development of self-regulation.

This video features two undergraduate Medical Education students discussing the many challenges associated with learning in a locked-down environment, both academic and social.
