Abstract in brief

The study evaluated a remote consultation tool for medical students during COVID-19 lockdowns, finding that students and supervisors viewed it as acceptable and educationally beneficial.
Different approaches and platforms (such as AccuRx, Microsoft Teams, and telephone) influenced how students interacted with patients, with practical and educational challenges identified, especially related to supervision and communication.
The findings suggest that remote, supervised patient consultations from home can work well, but further research is needed in different medical student groups to confirm its broader applicability.]
