The education system has been lockdown during the COVID-19 pandemic globally for primary to higher education and Bangladesh is not out of this. Finding no other alternative, online education system has been introduced by internet-based video classes like zoom, Facebook, Google class, and many others like these. Though medical education is very important and mainly based on classroom, lab tests, and hospital but during this pandemic, due to lockdown it has been continuing by the online system. Kushtia Medical College has started online classes via zoom since July 2020. It has its own ID and password. However, a number of benefits, problems, and few prospects have been found in this study. The crucial finding of this study is online classes is not fruitful for a long time as medical education is highly technical, professional, and specialized and based on a practical, lab test, and patients tests. However, for a temporary period, it is moderately helpful for students. If prolong pandemic stay, medical education including all kinds of education will hamper and session jams will appear throughout the world which would be harmful to the global education, economy, governance, health, safety, and peaceful world.
