Declarations
:
: Starting in 2013, there was no research ethics committee dedicated to educational research in the Faculty of Medicine at the University of Helsinki. Therefore, ethics committee approval could not be granted before the research started and could not be obtained retrospectively. The research was carried out in accordance with the guidelines of the Declaration of Helsinki and the Finnish National Advisory Board on Research Ethics. Partaking was voluntary and an electronic informed consent was acquired. The principal investigator (EP) oversaw data collection and anonymisation of the data. This was particularly important because the leading author (DF) was a student of one of the student cohorts studied. Confidentiality and anonymity of respondents were guaranteed throughout the research and publication processes.
: Not applicable.
: The authors wish to declare the following conflicts of interest. The lead author was part of the 2016 cohort analysed for this study. The lead author was funded by the national Finnish medical digitalisation project MEDigi during 2019 and part of 2020 with the aid of which he was an employee of the University of Helsinki Medical Faculty.
