Abstract

The COVID-19 pandemic has created opportunities and challenges for education and research as the two main academic activities in the fields of medical sciences disciplines, which due to their mutual influence can be used to propose solutions for improving these two areas. The present study was conducted to compare two review articles, each of which dealt with one of these two areas. This comparative study with a qualitative explanatory design was conducted in three steps. First, two review articles were selected that reviewed the opportunities and challenges caused by the Coronavirus pandemic to propose solutions for the post-Corona era. Then, both studies were carefully studied and described. Finally, two researchers separately extracted the similarities and differences mentioned in the two articles and compared them to remove any inconsistencies. A panel of experts confirmed the findings. The opportunities and challenges mentioned in the two articles were extracted and categorized into groups of similar and different cases between education and clinical research. The similar proposed solutions for the post-Corona era were: continuing to use virtual space facilities, diversifying the communication methods with students and research participants, and providing and developing suitable electronic infrastructure. Comparing two review articles and determining the similarities and differences between the opportunities and challenges caused by the COVID-19 pandemic and the solutions for the post-COVID-19 era related to the two areas of medical education and clinical research, led to proposing the solutions that could promote these two related fields coherently. © 2023 Tehran University of Medical Sciences.
