To determine the perceptions of how COVID-19 impacted fourth-year clinical rotations, students ( n = 24) and DVLC practice rotation coordinators (PRCs, n = 23) completed two questionnaires over a 7-month period. The survey consisted of demographic questions, statements ranked on an agreement scale, and open-ended questions. Two-tailed Wilcoxon signed-rank tests and frequency counts were used to analyze their responses over time. Quantitative analysis revealed that 45% students reported concerns for their mental health, 41% for their physical health, and 26% for inadequate clinical time; and 14% cover communication that heightened over a 7-month period. No trends in responses were noted with PRCs over time. Qualitative thematic analysis of students\u2019 responses showed perceived advantages of lower client-induced performance pressure (22%) and longer rotations allowing for increased case responsibility (22%). PRCs felt fulfillment while teaching (50%), enjoyed longer rotations (50%) and used this opportunity to offer future employment opportunities to students (44%). Additionally, there were concerns regarding inadequate clinical time (41%), decreased ability to practice in-person client communication skills (26%), and difficulties enforcing social distancing protocols (43%). Areas of improvement identified from this study include providing clear communication, continued academic support, and normalizing mental health care. Continued adaptations to an ever-changing pandemic landscape can help mitigate the negative effects of future outbreaks and novel situations.
