**6.1 Medical education with no geographical restriction**

During COVID pandemic TEME was adopted as a learning process for both pre-clinical and clinical sciences. With social distancing as a new norm, the concept of traditional class room now seemed like a fairy tale (**Figure 1**).

For basic sciences subject, lectures were delivered through communication softwares like Zoom and Google meet up for synchronous meeting. Online demonstration of procedures was also implemented through virtual labs [35–38].

For discussion on clinical cases and interpretation of diagnostic tests, hybrid models employing asynchronous and synchronous sessions were used [39, 40]. Many schools used to broad cast their study reading material before the flipped class online sessions, making students learn through interactive exercises on virtual patients [41]. Few medical school in Italy utilized video tele-consultation with simulated patients to mimic the clinical experience [6].
