There is a huge gap between medical expectations and engineering delivery, what you say?
The following is an editorial accepted for publication in the journal medical education in Spanish, which is indexed in Scopus, Scielo and MEDES, and is the body of expression of the Ibero-American Forum for Medical Education (FIAEM). I share this to encourage debate on the changes and adaptations that medical education must have in times of pandemic, and the lessons we must have in the face of post-pandemic medical education.

First of all, I would appreciate the point raised. Can not agree more than 100% on this point that "yes there is a gap". Purpose of education is no more a learning to 'solving day to day issues to make life simpler'. And since education is not even near by the 'learning' how it can be applied in the real context. Moreover there is lack of interactions of various domains, like I am a radiologist and needs a simple reporting software but can not have one customised to my requirements and you know cost is a big factor in govt set up like ours.
More interaction among people with different specialisations is required and in this big univarsity campuses may play an important role.
Engineering has indeed tried to solve various medical problems, however, other problems keep coming which needs to be addressed and hence the gap, but not that big.
