Abstract
We aimed to learn about the experiences of family medicine research assistants during COVID-19 pandemic and to obtain information about improvement activities that can be done in similar situations. The study was conducted with the research assistants of X University Faculty of Medicine, Department of Family Medicine, who worked in the COVID-19 outpatient clinic during the pandemic period. The research was a qualitative research. Data were analysed using a thematic framework method. In all, 15 research assistants (11 females and 4 males) were included in the study. No remarkable difference was detected in the opinions with respect to their gender and their working period as a physician. The analysis revealed four main themes: emotions experienced during pandemic, working environment, gains and reasons to choose "family medicine." Family medicine research assistants have important roles during pandemic. However, in this period, it is very important to know their views to provide the most accurate management and to meet their training needs.
