Q 5) Testing scholarship competency in  
logging reflective observations on your concrete experiences of this last month :
The new curriculum promotes the idea of clinical based evidence and approach of the student towards medicine. In a dreadful scenario as COVID ; we as students; aren't able to comprehend well enough through elogs alone. This is where the online video communication a.k.a telepathy comes into play. The direct conversations with the patients and the video being uploaded on reputed social media platforms helps us to comprehend the case scenarios better and this provides us with more knowledge of the case as we(not physically present though) are able to experience the clinical exposure.
