Abstract:
The COVID-19 global pandemic has highlighted the potential roles and responsibilities of medical students in healthcare systems. Senior clinical students may be able to contribute practically, but all medical students, regardless of their level of training have the opportunity to assist public health measures, eg supporting vaccination uptake. Medical students may tread a difficult line in such situations. On one hand, students are advised not to act beyond their level of expertise, yet they can feel an expectation to be authoritative by the community. Navigating these spaces can be challenging for medical students and an important part of their professional development.
