Results: Most 6th year students (over 80%) were greatly affected in their studies by the COVID-19 epidemic. All waves of the epidemic had an impact on students’ theoretical and clinical learning. The level of satisfaction of 6th year students with online learning was 74.6%, with no statistically significant difference between male and female students (p>0.05). Over 80% of students said that online learning met the goals of the curriculum, while this rate of ensuring the output standards of the curriculum was over 70%.
