Academia and Medical Education in A Post-COVID-19 World

Abstract

The COVID-19 pandemic will become an important event of our lives, due to the change and disruption it will bring through both direct and indirect ways and the resultant responses and adaptations we make. These will also invariably impact education, including higher education in general and medical education in particular. In this keynote address, I will make an attempt to explore the uncertainties, venture to make predictions and propose actions in relation to higher education in Sri Lanka, in order to find ways to face the situation successfully.
