The onset of the COVID-19 pandemic brought social distancing and thus the necessity of remote learning, especially for international programs, which had the additional challenge of travel and border restrictions. This research adds to the literature by looking at student perceptions of their learning environment within one international medical program. The current study fills the gap in research on medical students’ perceptions with the e-learning environment and provides valuable insight into program development for international medical schools interested in incorporating e-learning into their curriculum.
