Abstract Despite the recent advancement of virtual education during the last pandemic, mastering clinical competencies remains challenging. The current study endorsed Synchronised Video-assisted Clinical Skill lab Sessions (SVCSLS) as a novel instructional design aiming to improve medical students' clinical competencies during virtual learning. The current study is a mixed-method study that was carried out among 210 medical students at a medical college in Saudi Arabia. It was revealed that students viewed SVCSLSs as an effective and safe tool during times of crisis. Students' performance did not show significant variations in all program phases compared with face-to-face learning. SVCSLSs has many advantages, including enjoyment, continuous access to learning material, Self-Directed Learning, fostering recall and memorisation, and enhancing higher cognitive skills. Students suggested that the sessions' content be updated, that workplace-related videos be added, and that constructive feedback is provided. Students recommended updating the contents of the sessions, enriching them with workplace-based videos, and providing constructive feedback. Though SVCSLSs have been proven to be an effective tool, we recommend using them during a crisis rather than replacing the face-to-face mode of learning in normal circumstances.
