The Covid-19 pandemic has accelerated transformations within healthcare and medical education at an unprecedented pace.
In many instances, these changes have incorporated a fundamental redesign of service delivery, with profound implications for healthcare workers, medical students and patients.
Although the primary catalyst for change has been the urgent need for infection control, it is also prompting healthcare and medical education leaders to consider future needs and opportunities.
In collaboration with Health Ministry, the College of Physicians as well as the Malaysia Advanced Acute Internal Medicine and Ultrasound Society (Maaimuss), Newcastle University Medicine Malaysia (NUMed) has taken the lead in confronting the pandemic by hosting a nation-building initiative, Forward Malaysia.
