Abstract

Reflective writing gives an opportunity to think deeply about something
the person has learned or an experience he/she had. The importance of
reflective writing in medical education is immense. The Competency Based Medical Education (CBME) curriculum by the Medical Council of India (MCI)/ National Medical Commission (NMC) recommends reflective writing as a means of learning, especially the affective domain. Writing reflections is a process of learning through experience, the experience may be any event like a seminar, a meeting, a disaster, or a pandemic. The outbreak of covid-19 pandemic forced the Indian government to impose nation wide lockdown.The medical students are going through a difficult phase due to pandemic per se and due to the surrounding uncertainties of re-opening of themedical institutions, resumption of onsite teaching activities and examinations. As a
part of their learning, the students were asked to share their experience by writing reflection on the ongoing pandemic. The phase 1 undergraduate medical students reflected on COVID-19 pandemic, using the three steps model by Rofle, 2001 the three steps are- what happened, so what and what next. The current article is an attempt to summarise their reflections.
