This study aimed to assess the impact of COVID-19 on the mental health of Chinese medical students over a 1-year follow-up. Three waves of online research were conducted from February 2, 2020, to February 23, 2021 (T1 = during outbreak, T2 = controlling period, T3 = 1 year after outbreak). The survey included demographic data and self-report questionnaires measuring depressive, anxiety, and stress symptoms. A total of 4002 participants completed all phases of the research. The study found that major, grade level, and gender were significant factors associated with psychological distress caused by the COVID-19 crisis. Importantly, medical knowledge had a protective effect on medical students' psychological distress during the COVID-19 period.
