An online survey was developed to elicit information on (1) the role of medical students in the pandemic era; (2) Medical education in the \u201cnew normal,\u201d and (3) the impact of COVID-19 on medical students.\n                  <\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>\n                    <jats:bold>Methods:<\/jats:bold>\n                    The online survey, developed by a team consisting of three medical students, three psychiatry residents, and three professors of psychiatry, was conducted on 574 participants (213 medical students, 180 graduates, and 181 professors) in the University of Ulsan College of Medicine, Seoul, South Korea. Anxiety symptom rating scales, including the Stress and Anxiety to Viral Epidemics-6 (SAVE-6) scale and the Generalized Anxiety Disorder\u22127 (GAD-7) scale, were applied to measure participant anxiety level.\n                  <\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>\n                    <jats:bold>Results:<\/jats:bold>\n                    Medical students indicated their willingness to join the healthcare response to the COVID-19 pandemic, if requested; however, graduates and professors recommended that medical students continue their training rather than join the pandemic healthcare response. In the new normal era, medical education has had to change appropriately. Moreover, adequate knowledge of COVID-19 infection and spread must be considered for the continuation of clinical clerkships during the pandemic. Overall, medical students who indicated anxiety about treating possible or confirmed cases of COVID-19 rated higher on the SAVE-6 scale. Finally, medical students who reported that COVID-19 had an impact on their studies and daily life rated higher on the general anxiety scale (GAD-7).\n                  <\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>\n                    <jats:bold>Conclusion:<\/jats:bold>\n                    Social accountability is an important issue for medical students in the pandemic era. At the same time, non-disruption of their academic calendar would ensure continuous availability of component medical professionals, which is important for adequate future healthcare responses.\n                  <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3389\/fpsyt.2021.645340","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,6,1]],"date-time":"2021-06-01T02:13:25Z","timestamp":1622513605000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3389\/crossmark-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":18,"title":["Attitude of Medical Students About Their Role and Social Accountability in the COVID-19 Pandemic"],"prefix":"10.3389","volume":"12","author":[{"given":"Jihoon","family":"Hong","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ikjae","family":"Jung","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Mingeol","family":"Park","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Kyumin","family":"Kim","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Sungook","family":"Yeo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Joohee","family":"Lee","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Sooyeon","family":"Suh","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Youjin","family":"Hong","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jangho","family":"Park","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Seockhoon","family":"Chung","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1965","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,6,1]]},"reference":[{"key":"B1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"514","DOI":"10.1016\/S0140-6736(20)30154-9","article-title":"A familial cluster of pneumonia associated with the 2019 novel coronavirus indicating person-to-person transmission: a study of a family cluster","volume":"395","author":"Chan","year":"2020","journal-title":"Lancet"},{"key":"B2","unstructured":"WHO Coronavirus Disease (COVID-19) Dashboard2021"},{"key":"B3","unstructured":"2021"},{"key":"B4","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"55","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jad.2020.08.001","article-title":"Impact of COVID-19 pandemic on mental health in the general population: a systematic review","volume":"277","author":"Xiong","year":"2020","journal-title":"J Affect Disord"},{"key":"B5","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"15","DOI":"10.1007\/978-981-33-4126-5_2","article-title":"How the COVID-19 pandemic is reshaping the education service","volume":"1","author":"Kang","year":"2021","journal-title":"Future Serv Post COVID-19 Pandemic"},{"key":"B6","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"145","DOI":"10.7326\/M20-1281","article-title":"The role of medical students during the COVID-19 pandemic","volume":"173","author":"Miller","year":"2020","journal-title":"Ann Intern Med"},{"key":"B7","first-page":"724","article-title":"The challenges of \u201ccontinuing medical education\u201d in a pandemic era","volume":"38","author":"Lim","year":"2009","journal-title":"Ann Acad Med"},{"key":"B8","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"11","DOI":"10.1177\/2156587211427404","article-title":"Medical training in the United States prior to the civil war","volume":"17","author":"Slawson","year":"2012","journal-title":"J Evid Based Complement Alternat Med"},{"key":"B9","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"399","DOI":"10.24875\/CIRU.M20000066","article-title":"The role of the medicine student in COVID-19 pandemic.
