COVID-19 Pandemic: medical and pharmacy education in Nigeria

Abstract

Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic poses a major threat to education globally and medical and pharmacy education in Nigeria is not an exception. Although the focus has been to treat the infected persons and reduce the spread of the virus as much as possible, the emergence of COVID-19 has disrupted education and this requires prompt attention from stakeholders. The pandemic effect on healthcare students’ education would be more pronounced because of its peculiarities as it involves clinical rotation exposure, laboratory experiences, internships, in-person didactic lectures and tutorials, presentations, clinical clerkship, observing and assisting relevant medical and surgical procedures.
