The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) outbreak has shaken the entire human race with its unprecedented health and economic outcomes. Researchers and clinicians are trying to get an insight into various aspects of the COVID-19 disease and related aspects, and to some extent, they have succeeded too, but a lot more is yet to be discovered and disclosed. However, it appears that the pandemic is going to stay for a longer duration with varied expressions. In these testing and challenging times when the entire world is battling the massive public health crises, the healthcare workers remain the most vulnerable targets. The current situation unleashes adoption of new structures and processes, but often gloomed with ethical dilemmas. The COVID-19 is not going to be the last major pandemic in the history of human civilization. Henceforth, the million-dollar questions we face now and forever are: How are we planning to prepare the workforce for an health crisis of this cataclysmic proportions? Can we reimagine a curricular framework that could address public health crises arising from epidemics and pandemics? What model could facilitate for advancement in crisis preparedness and management? Do we need an orchestrated team approach in managing and containing any public health crisis of global concern like the COVID-19? What about the entrustable professional activities for a team task? These pertinent questions do not have straight forward answers. It requires a great effort at various levels, but such a change in curricular framework appears to be the need of the hour.
