Viruses are recognised for their ability to induce genetic evolution and cause disease. SARS-CoV-2 has catalysed rapid evolutionary changes in the delivery of preclinical teaching of the Griffith University medical program across diverse sites by inducing the use of progressive student feedback to enhance active learning in an online flipped format.
