AB - The COVID-19 pandemic is a global catastrophe, daily life activities worldwide have been altered. In the education sector, almost all institutions have stopped face-to-face teaching and transformed into online campuses. This creates a lot of challenges for teachers and students. In medical education, the situation has special considerations; since learning in medicine emphasises hands-on experience, world-wide movement restrictions and social-distancing orders deprive them of this essential component of training. It is worse for final-year medical students who are near graduation. All these uncertainties place great stress on medical students. Hence, it is essential for education leaders and teachers to develop resilience in students and strengthen them in the face of the COVID-19 pandemic. The following are some suggestions inspired by the “integrated resilience model” published in this issue. This model sheds light on building resilience in four themes; control, involvement, resourcefulness and growth. Control means being composed and controlled under stressful adversity. Involvement means being committed to deal with adversity. Resourcefulness means being able to find appropriate solutions from available resources to deal with adversity. Growth means being able to keep growing and bouncing back stronger from adversity.
