Abstract

COVID-19 pandemic lockdown has forced the summer training committee for pharmacy students at Umm Al-Qura University to start a simulation field training instead of the real field training in 2019-2020. This sudden change to remote learning and training has placed the pharmacy training and education system into an extraordinary experience that can have a great influence in the future. To assess summer training students' opinions on the impact of using MyDispense instead of real field training. A cross-sectional study using a survey targeted summer training of pharmacy students. Around 220 students participated in answering the survey with a majority not satisfied with this kind of training. Furthermore, they needed more lectures and webinars to understand more about how to use this simulating application accurately. Students proposed to adjunct online and onsite learning together. However, further research should be explored to give a better view and understanding.
