The delivery of medical student education changed rapidly during the COVID 19 pandemic. Medical education has been grossly affected by the alteration in academic calendar due to COVID19 pandemic. This has led to a deviation from the native ways of teaching and medical information delivery among medical and dental students. This study aims to access the effect of COVID19 on medical education. Design: This was a cross-sectional observational study. Place and Duration of Study: The study was done and conducted at the College of Medical Sciences at the University of Calabar. The study which had a 3-month duration, started July 30, 2020 and ended 30th October 2020. Methodology: Using a well-structured detailed questionnaire, one hundred medical and dental students from the College of Medical Sciences were requested to fill and give reasons for the preferred mode of information dissemination they desired which was beneficial to them during the COVID 19 era. Results: A total of 100 (hundred) students participated in the study; which was made up seventy(70) students of the Faculty of medicine and thirty(30) dental students from the Faculty of dentistry. This was equal to a total of 65 males and 45 females. Many of the students (91%) of them were of the opinion that they preferred face-toface interaction and learning.
