Introduction: Amidst the challenges imposed by the COVID-19 pandemic, this cross-sectional study investigates the specific difficulties encountered by medical students in southern Punjab while navigating the realm of e-learning in their academic pursuits Objective: The primary objective of this study was to ascertain the challenges faced by MBBS students in southern Punjab while participating in e-learning throughout the COVID-19 pandemic. Methods: In May 2020, a cross-sectional study was undertaken during the first wave of COVID-19 lockdown among third and final-year MBBS students attending E-learning sessions. The sample comprised 32 male and 43 female students, totaling 85 in the third year and 18 in the final year, with a targeted response rate of 75 to achieve a 95% confidence interval. Results: The study findings reveal that a significant proportion of participants, comprising 66%, faced challenges in online classes owing to connectivity issues arising from their residency in less developed regions of southern Punjab. Forty percent of students did not face any difficulties during E-learning. These findings indicate that a noteworthy percentage of students, accounting for 60%, possess a negative perspective concerning online classes. Conclusion: Our study participants didnot prefer E-learning, with many reporting internet connectivity issues, particularly those from southern Punjab. We thus recommend that the administration and faculty consider implementing asynchronous e-learning activities to enable students in less-developed areas with poor internet connectivity to benefit from online learning.

Introduction: Online education was used to some extent in all fields before COVID 19 pandemic. Its use has markedly increased during the pandemic, with a major shift from traditional teaching methods to online and hybrid teaching. Due to advancements in medicine and technology, the use of e-learning and artificial intelligence in health education is compulsory. Objective: This study aims to determine the perceptions of medical students toward the impact of online education on their academic performance and emotional well-being. Methods: A 31-item questionnaire was devised on Google Forms and disseminated through WhatsApp groups of the fourth- and final-year MBBS students of Allama Iqbal Medical College. The survey was administered from April 4th, 2023, to April 30th, 2023. The questionnaire consisted of mixed-style questions. The medical students were asked about their perceptions of online education and its impact on academic performance and emotional well-being. Results: More than 50 percent of students reported a positive impact of online education on their academic performance, but it negatively affected their practical skills. Many students experienced anxiety, stress, and difficulty focusing during online education. A significant difference is observed due to student status and residential status in their academic performance and emotional well-being. Conclusion: Students have positive perceptions of their academic performance in terms of formative and summative assessment scores but experience negative effects on their practical skills. It is associated with various degrees of emotional disturbance, including stress, anxiety, less motivation, and an attention deficit.

Introduction: Bedside teaching is an essential tool for clinical skill demonstration in undergraduate medical education. Recently, a shift away from bedside teaching has been seen, which can lead to a decline in students' clinical performance.Objective: To understand the student perception of bedside teaching among undergraduate medical students in their fourth and final year of MBBS.Methods: A cross-sectional study was done using an online Google form of a validated questionnaire after getting permission from authors from 4th and 5th-year MBBS students of Sharif Medical and Dental College, Lahore, in March 2023. The questionnaire tested the four domains, which included the physical environment and the patient’s comfort and attitude toward the patient, the teaching task of the teacher, and group dynamics. Each domain has further 5, 7, 9, and 4 questions using a Likert scale ranging from strongly agree to strongly disagree. Results: The age range of the participants was between 20 and 25. The response rate was 90% for 4th year and 93 % for the final year. The adequacy of the space and the noisy place were barriers in the physical environment. Patient comfort, attitude toward the patient, and bedside teaching ethics were followed adequately. Conclusion: Bedside teaching is an important skill to enhance clinical skill practice, communication skills, and management skills. The decline in bedside teaching can compromise patient management skills for future doctors. Appropriate steps should be taken to rectify the barriers to adequate provision of BST.
