The Covid-19 pandemic has fully opened the debate on the complexity of the problem, which goes far beyond medical and epidemiological analyzes and proposals, although these are key to the decisions of leaders in the decisive sphere. Critical situations always force us to look for new methods. This is also indicated by paradigmatic changes in the overall functioning and position of medical faculties in Slovakia and abroad (1,2,3). The adaptation of the faculty administration at the time of this crisis is admirable in many respects and essential for the long-term societal struggle with the pandemic. (Ref. 3).
