Online platform is a tecnological based tool through which instructions, discussions and facilitations of learning can be carried out without physical contact of the facilitators and the audience. It could be used to excute programmes in real time. Perhaps, medical students‘ programmes could be quite robust and demanding and could leverage on online platforms to facilitate some of their programmes. The study examined how the year of study influenced medical students‘ perception on the use of online platforms for training and development. A descriptive cross-sectional design was used and multi-stage sampling technique was utilized to select 600 medical students from first year to the sixth year. The data collected were analyzed using frequency tables and logistic regression. The results show that for every one year advancement in the Basic Medical Sciences, there is 28.7% likelihood of medical students‘approval of the use of online platform for learning and development. However, within the Clinical Sciences, for every one year advancement among the clinical students, there is 2 times likelihood of approval of online platform for learning and development. This implies that online platform gets better appreciated as medical students spends more years in their learning and development. It is therefore recommended that, stakeholders in medical education should initiate the online platform for learning and development early in the medical students‘ career to achieve the much needed effect towards the conclusion of their programmes
