Lockdowns and social distancing measures due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic have forced the delivery and assessment of educational material to be performed via online and virtual educational tools. Such disruption has greatly affected hands-on training programs essential to acquire clinical competencies, particularly modes requiring physical patient encounters. While most educational content has successfully been shifted to predominantly web-conferencing platforms, the essential clinical teaching at affiliated hospitals for undergraduate medicine clerkship years has been severely disrupted due to barring of students from hospital premises to minimise spread of COVID-19, presenting a problem requiring unique solutions to ensure that quality of education and subsequent healthcare is kept sufficiently high. To this degree, technological advances increasingly present several elegant solutions which may provide the required levels of educational delivery. In this article, we briefly discuss the number of options that could be deployed to aid in acquisition of requisite skills during the clerkship years, with a focus on wearable technologies and video recording/broadcasting. Given the ongoing pandemic, application of technological advances could provide, with some global coordination, the medical education community with numerous proactive solutions rather than just educational luxuries or novelties.
