Objective: We sought to determine whether viewing versus attending lecture impacted medical student course and licensing examination performance, grades on clinical rotations, perceptions of school-life balance, and comfort with clinical skills.
Methods: Optional anonymous questionnaires were emailed to all first-year medical students (class of 2020) at Boston University School of Medicine at the end of their first academic year and again to this same class after their first clinical rotation. A separate questionnaire was emailed to fourth-year medical students (class of 2019) midway through their final year.
