      ab: 2020 will always be remembered as an unprecedented year with the Coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic creating chaos and disruption in healthcare systems worldwide and in particular that of medical education in Anaesthesiology. We share our experience of the university affiliated with the largest medical school in Singapore in mitigating the disruption on medical student education in Anaesthesiology amidst the pandemic. In Singapore, medical education is coordinated by the Ministry of Health, medical schools and the Academy of Medicine. With COVID19, undergraduate anaesthesia education was severely disrupted. Planned training programs had to adapt to a videoconferencing platform, small group teachings or E learning modules. Alterations to assessments and training had to be implemented. Constant changes and updates became the norm, adding to the stress amongst the medical students as they continued with the pursuit of training and education. As the world braces itself for a more virulent strain of the COVID-19 virus and the challenges of mass vaccination programs, the only constant in life is that of change. The task of educating the next generation of anesthesiologists and airway skills of doctors, likewise, needs to adapt and evolve to ensure quality and competencies of our specialty.
