Abstract
The Covid-19 pandemic has had a profound impact on the way psychiatry is taught. Both the formal teaching components and
the clinical placements pivoted to run in a virtual world. Students learnt psychiatry through a screen, either through online teaching
sessions or remote clinical activity. Two medical students passionate to pursue a career in psychiatry (KB, FR) reflected with an
undergraduate department faculty member (SB) upon their experiences of the adapted mental health block, how the delivery may
have affected their motivations for psychiatry, as well as considering their learning on psychiatry training for a new, virtual reality.
Keywords
