The government of Indonesia has shifted face-to-face teaching and learning activities to online learning to prevent COVID-19 transmission. Still, clinical rotation and skills practice in hospitals are compulsory for medical students. Therefore, blended learning is applied. This new system is applied in the Medical Profession Study Program, Faculty of Medicine, Universitas Padjadjaran, and limited studies describe this learning within clinical rotation. The purpose of this study was to describe the implementation of blended learning during the COVID-19 pandemic based on students’ perceptions. Active students of Medical Profession Study Program from class of 2020-2021 (n=261) were invited to participate in this study. Participants were requested to respond to 21 “yes/no” questionnaire. This study was conducted from December 2021 to January 2022. Students who did not take part in the blended learning system were excluded from the study. The findings showed that most students were aware of the adoption of blended learning (yes > 50%). The highest percentage of "yes" answers was the question about students' awareness of virtual face-to-face learning activities (Virtual Synchronous) (98.95%). Meanwhile, the lowest percentage of "yes" answers was the question about the student's perceptions regarding the application of a structured schedule (during working hours) (38.31%). Blended learning during the COVID-19 pandemic from the student’s point of view is already per the decree and guidebooks. The structured schedule experienced by the students was not fully implemented during working hours.
