This metadata record provides details of the data supporting the claims
of the related manuscript: “Level of Knowledge in the COVID-19 Pandemic: A
Cross-Sectional Survey of Canadian Medical Students”.

The related study aimed to assess the level of COVID-19 clinical knowledge
among medical students in Quebec, Canada—the Canadian province with the highest
prevalence rate for COVID-19 infections—determining if students understood the
lab findings, clinical presentation, and if they believed the myths in COVID-19.
It also aimed to understand what information sources students turn to and the
perceived trustworthiness of those sources, and whether there is an association
between students’ knowledge and prior degrees obtained.

The data consist of one Excel .xlsx format spreadsheet with six tabs. The
data are collected from a survey which was distributed to each medical school
in Quebec both through email and through social media pages for each class year
(i.e. Med 1s, Med 2s, etc). Each school distributed the survey once, either in
email or social media. Links were directly available in the associated post.
