Does it help anyone unwell with covid-19 that a medical student knows this list by heart? Does it lighten the load on our healthcare system during the pandemic?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Compared to what others have been doing, studying seems a selfish use of time. I see heroes all around me. I took a year out of my medical degree to work at <em>The BMJ<\/em>, and my former classmates have graduated. Some have started their <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Interim Foundation Year 1<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> posts. At the start of the pandemic, my parents we considering whether to return to the healthcare jobs they retired from, and meanwhile they delivered groceries without payment, checked on vulnerable neighbours, and helped a single parent with childcare.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201c<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">It can be easy to feel guilty for \u2018just\u2019 staying at home when people are putting themselves at such massive risk of exposure day in, day out.\u201d says medical student Issy Walker, in a <\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/blogs.nottingham.ac.uk\/studentlife\/2020\/04\/13\/the-world-turned-upside-down\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">post on the University of Nottingham student blog<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201c[Guilt] is incredibly normal, incredibly common,\u201d says Caroline Walker, a psychiatrist specialised in doctors\u2019 wellbeing, \u201cbecause we care. [\u2026] And we desperately want to do everything we can at this point in time to help.\u201d Walker made <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/joyfuldoctor\/videos\/1190937444445798\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">a video<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> for doctors who feel guilty for different reasons\u2014including the doctors who, like medical students, are not in clinical settings and will be joining the workforce in the coming months or years. She goes on to say, \u201cPlease know you are going to do your bit and you are going to be needed.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The health consequences of the pandemic will last longer than the pandemic itself, when the healthcare systems have to face the harm of postponed appointments and treatments, and the trauma of living through such an event. And there will be more pandemics to come. The world will need newly qualified doctors next year, the year after, and the year after that.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Remember the Medical Student Council\u2019s first message in their <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.medschools.ac.uk\/media\/2629\/updated-volunteering-guidance-020420.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">statement of expectation for medical student volunteers<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">: our first responsibility is to our medical education, readying us to be doctors in the near future. Though studying might feel selfish, and nothing like the apparent heroics of final year med students and healthcare professionals, it is valuable and will serve others in the longer run.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cThe major concern within medical schools is to ensure the continuing education of students in \u2018pre-final years\u2019\u201d, says Diana Wood, the dean of the University of Cambridge School of Clinical Medicine. She sits on the Medical School Council Covid Group with Health Education England, the General Medical Council, and the deans of several other medical schools. Wood and her Cambridge team have graduated final year medical students and established protocols for other medical students to volunteer. Now, they are throwing their efforts into preserving the pipeline of competent new doctors. \u201cThis presents enormous challenges, not least because it is yet unclear when clinical placements will be possible once more.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">With this hit on our education, will I be ready to qualify when it\u2019s my turn? Will we be competent?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Usually at this time of year, upcoming exams prompt me to step up my learning: to commit information to memory and to revisit the parts of clinical medicine that I find most difficult. My annual rhythm is disrupted, my exams postponed by four months, maybe more. For others, exams are cancelled, or the format yet to be confirmed. One <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/b_d4512\/status\/1248692264815263746\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">medical student asked on Twitter<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">, \u201cDoes anyone else just not care about studying anymore?\u201d <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/feleciadsouza\/status\/1248737777291866113\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Another replied<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">, \u201cI think it\u2019s the uncertainty of not being sure if anything even counts.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Without exams to drive our learning, we have to fall back on older motivations. Before the pandemic, before clinical exams, something drove us to choose a degree we knew would be a long slog. Whatever motivated us then still matters.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Want to help people? Then understand: you do good for your community when you continue to study as best you can. You will do your bit. You will be needed.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><em><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"><strong>Laura Nunez-Mulder<\/strong> is a 5th year medical student at the University of Cambridge, UK, and former editorial scholar (2018-2019) at The BMJ.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<p><em><b>Competing interests: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Student affiliate of BMJ OnExamination.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<p><em><b>Twitter:<\/b> <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/lnm_rugby\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">@lnm_rugby<\/span><\/a><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This morning I tried to memorise the causes of hyponatraemia.
