Has the pandemic response entrenched a pathogenic emphasis in education?

The COVID-19 pandemic has reinforced the emphasis on preparing nursing graduates for secondary care. This trend is evident in many countries, where the pandemic has reinforced a focus on acute care, with less emphasis on
primary and social care. As with many commentaries, we raise more questions than answers. Preparedness to question and critique nurse education
practice is key to progression and transformation (South et al, 2008). We
encourage wide discussion and debate on questions that will help shift the mindset from the pathogenic to the salutogenic focus in nurse education in a
post-pandemic world.
