Moving Forward with Medical Education in Times of a Pandemic: Universities in Romania Double Down on Virtual and Blended Learning

摘要

Education is one of the primary pillars of building healthier societies. In a world that has become more and more digitized, education should adapt to the public’s needs, coming as a gap-bridging activity in the quest for knowledge and personal growth. In trying times, the pursuit of education represents the hope of society. The world still faces the challenges of polarization, discrimination and inequity. These unfortunate realities create an ever-growing need for connection, innovation and societal progress. In areas where heterogeneity makes for the norm, new forms of learning could bridge disparities and allow people to develop to their full potential. With minimal resources and maximized access, e-learning accounts for the next step in building innovation-driven societies, designing new tools for connection, and aiding students and teachers alike to achieve their full potential.
