Maximising health science student volunteers for the COVID-19 response: A valuable resourceTo the Editor: In response to COVID-19, a nationwide lockdown was initiated in South Africa (SA) on 27 March 2020, to minimise transmission of the virus and give the healthcare sector time to prepare for unprecedented patient loads.COVID-19 has also caused clinical teaching at many health science faculties across the world to come to a complete halt out of concern for the safety of students and staff alike.Most health science faculties across SA shut down, with online learning taking the place of lectures.Although there has been disagreement about the role that health science students should and could play in fighting the pandemic, several centres across the world and in SA have utilised students as valuable resources to help cope with the overwhelming patient burden, managing, to varying degrees, to integrate students into frontline responses.[1,2] In this brief commentary we outline the valuable contribution to our frontline response made by University of Cape Town (UCT) health science students.We highlight the role a student society was able to help play in centralising and co-ordinating early student volunteering in Cape Town, and how the volunteer experience contributed towards student medical education. Evolution of UCT student volunteer initiatives and a co-ordinated effort
