The shift presents unique challenges that could affect student competencies and academic performance. To compare the academic performance of the medical students from Batch 2022 and the Batch 2023 of FEU-NRMF which employed face-to-face and distance learning modalities, respectively during their second year in medical school and to look into the possible association of NMAT percentile score and sex with the academic performance of medical students in both learning modalities. Data from 261 students from Batch 2022 and Batch 2023 were collected through the school registrar. Univariate binary logistic regression was used to analyze the data. This study found that there was no significant difference between face-to-face and distance learning when compared with the overall core subject grades of students. However, findings for individual subjects did yield significant associations. Surgery and Pharmacology had significantly more students receiving scholar grades in distance learning whereas Pathology and Pharmacology gave significantly more failed grades under face-to-face learning. Sex and NMAT scores were also found to be predictive of academic performance. The shift from face-to-face to distance learning did not significantly affect the academic performance of medical students in general ER -
