Sumario:COVID-19 lockdowns affected educational programs. Online learning has suddenly become the main form of medical education. However, attendance enhances a student’s competency and professionalism. Rising student numbers and the COVID-19 pandemic make in-class learning challenging. This study investigates medical students’ perceptions of a recently implemented tool for recording attendance using a QR code that detects students’ location while scanning. An online questionnaire was designed to collect responses. One hundred thirty-two students completed the survey. Students agreed that the method was usable, reliable, accurate, secure, and convenient. This method should be investigated as a standard tool for attendance recording. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The online version contains supplementary material available at 10.1007/s40670-022-01625-7.
