Tears in my eyes: From the diary of a stranded academic

Abstract

COVID-19 has transformed the education sector and all stakeholders have to play their role in adapting to the sudden emerging needs. This transformation was more critical for health-related disciplines as both students and faculty were at the forefront addressing the education and clinical care needs. In this short communication, the author presents a learning moment amidst the COVID-19 pandemic. This experience made her realize the changing role of medical students and how academics also need to feel supported at tough times.
