Introduction to the special collection on biomedical education
Abstract
The recent COVID‐19 crisis has posed a severe challenge to the educational system worldwide. Hearing from many of our colleagues, how they together with their students approached and overcame these hurdles, is inspiring. Educators in many biomedical fields, who thought that they require in‐person teacher‐to‐learner contacts to carry out their teaching missions, found ways to continue. That is not to say that these new, mainly remote ways of teaching are always better or equivalent to traditional approaches, but they are providing an alternative that gets the job done. Most importantly, novel avenues of teaching are being found and the educational process continues. To quote a statement that is often falsely attributed to Charles Darwin, "It is not the most intellectual of species that survives; it is not the strongest that survives; but the species that survives is the one that is able best to adapt and adjust to the changing environment in which it finds itself."
