The COVID-19 pandemic has transformed the way pharmacy students experience education. Some of these transformations may persist long after the disease abates. In normal circumstances, incoming pharmacy students would be enjoying on-campus university life and/or professional instruction for the very first time. Final year students would be focused on making the practice transition needed for entry to practice. Pandemic-related modifications have changed both of these experiences. The following is a commentary by two pharmacy students reflecting on this - what has been missed, what has been learned, what has been contributed, and what (we hope) happens next.
