ABSTRACT
This study used a questionnaire to examine how academic staff members in Greece and Cyprus feel about the changes in undergraduate medical education during the COVID-19 pandemic. In general, e-learning was not considered an adequate way of teaching and was less enjoyable. Participants aged 31-40 years experienced more (P = .001), while staff in higher academic ranks less difficulty (P < .001) in adjustment. There was a small increase in workload, which was higher among respondents researching into COVID-19 (P = .001). During the pandemic, daily screen use >6â
h was increased from 28.8% to 57.5%. The majority (74.2%) stated that scientific and educational training opportunities were not affected by the pandemic. In conclusion, the pandemic has induced important changes in undergraduate medical education. This new condition was considered adequate but not pleasant, with younger faculty members being more burdened.
