Letter from the Editor-in-Chief Peter G. M. de Jong 1 Accepted: 18 October 2020 # International Association of Medical Science Educators 2020

Welcome to the fourth issue of Medical Science Educator of 2020. This issue features over 60 new manuscripts reporting on medical education, which I hope will be of interest to you. Due to the pandemic, the summer of 2020 has been a very busy period for many educators around the world and many schools needed to transform their teaching into online activities and develop innovative solutions in a challenging environment. Several articles in this issue focus on the effect of the COVID-19 pandemic on our teaching, and through these publications authors would like to share their experiences in teaching and learning with the international educator community. This issue also contains 16 articles in a special section on “The Future of Health Sciences Education.” A large number of educators responded to our call for manuscripts on this topic. For my introduction to the theme, please read further on in this issue. The Editorial Board is very pleased with the increasing interest for Medical Science Educator, the increasing number
