Abstract
The COVID-19 pandemic has changed life as we know it. As a senior medical student in London, I offer my perspective on how the virus has affected my education and the potential impact on the education of future medical students. I cover topics including videoconferencing replacing clinical placements, the disadvantages of online learning and an unprecedent shift to online, open book examinations.

Summary
On the 12th of March 2020, World Health Organisation declared the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) outbreak a pandemic.[1]. I am writing down my experiences one week after finishing my final year-four exam. The exam was quickly changed to an online format, with extra time being granted. The exam was made open-book, pushing me into uncharted territory.
