Conclusion
As healthcare systems and resources are being overextended during this time, it is inevitable that COVID-19 will also impact medical education and specialty decision making. The implications for a surgical subspecialty such as otolaryngology include reduced exposure and limited opportunities for medical students to learn and consequently, match into the field. Virtual electives and telemedicine are promising strategies to engage medical students, but it is crucial for the academic otolaryngology community to prioritize and develop practical solutions for continuing medical education.
