In addition to a global endurance test for the health system, the Corona pandemic triggered a tremendous social and economic crisis. Health professionals as well as politicians and business managers have to make decisions with considerable consequences under great time pressure. In this context, numerous international organizations - including Transparency International, GRECO and IACA - point out that the Corona crisis can be a breeding ground not only for conflicts of interest, but also for corruption. Even though quick decisions have to be made at present, it is clear that the strict prohibitions on corruption must be fully observed also in times of the Corona crisis. In order to avoid violations from the outset, existing compliance systems should continuously be updated and adapted to the current situation. This article begins with a description of possible forms of corruption in the health care sector that are particularly relevant in the current times of crisis. Finally, the article offers ideas for updates on the company's internal healthcare compliance system with regard to anti-corruption.

Medical tourism, as many other industries, has suffered a big hit during the Covid pandemic. Being impacted both on the tourism and the healthcare side of the industry, it faces multiple challenges to recover. Looking at another period in time when the medical tourism industry was this heavily impacted and comparing technological advances during the respective periods, this article elaborates on how to better use digital technologies to rebuild and strengthen international patient care infrastructures. Before delving into the topic at hand I make the usual disclaimer: Due to the sensitive nature of the industry, there is not a lot of hard data available on medical tourism. Many hospitals do not record foreign patients differently than local patients, due to the specific set of laws that apply to them. Only a few medical tourism destinations collect hard data and survey medical tourists on their experience. Thus, any quantative analysis of the impact the Covid pandemic had and will have on medical tourism is strongly limited.

Due to the Covid-19 pandemic, law schools had to pivot to virtual legal education quickly. In the wake of the pandemic, scholars have eagerly written about the dos and don’ts of the virtual law classroom. Although some articles have represented the law students’ perspective and some have represented the law professor’s perspective, none have done both in an attempt to create empathy and bridge the gap between what students’ desire, and what law professors are currently providing, and what good virtual legal education requires. As such, based on several interviews with law professors and students, this Article begins by describing one online Contracts class first from the professor’s point of view and then from the student’s point of view. The professor and students’ different perceptions of the same class are then analogized to John Godfrey Saxe’s poem The Blind Men and the Elephant. Then, using the Kübler-Ross Grief Cycle as a vehicle to build empathy and understanding, this article attempts to demonstrate the similarities that exists between students and professors’ feelings about online virtual education, namely that both professors and students alike are avidly grieving a common loss: in-person, Socratic law school days of old. As such, they are both experiencing denial and anger about their situations. In keeping with one of the key strategies recommended by the Mayo Clinic for overcoming denial in grief, this article “journals” their realities and provides both the student and professor perspective in the hopes that, by doing so, it will rid the misconceptions and bridge the way for a new type of virtual legal education to be created—one that meets (and/or exceeds) both professors’ and students’ expectations.

In March 2020 the Covid-19 pandemic changed life circumstances drastically for everyone. Exactly one year ago the university had to shift from campus to the internet. This led to huge alterations in how professors lecture and how student university life takes place. After this year, it is time to evaluate the changes and put them into perspective. This means recognizing the benefits of technology to legal education instead of seeing the current situation as a replacement that disappears as soon as a return back to campus is possible.
