    A nivel mundial, la educación terciaria se ha visto muy afectada por la crisis de Covid-19. En este ensayo se ex-plora el impacto de la pandemia en este sector educativo en un entorno australiano; específicamente, se discute cómo la Escuela de Investigación en Salud Poblacional de la Universidad Nacional de Australia se ajustó y adaptó a las circunstancias cambiantes que surgieron de la pandemia. En este sentido, se propusieron dos ajustes (ambos se describen con detalle en el texto) en la forma en que se brindó educación en salud mental en la Escuela con el objetivo de mitigar el impacto de Covid-19 y mejorar la capacidad de la Universidad para brindar a los estudiantes educación de calidad en salud pública. Por ende, este ensayo muestra que es posible diseñar intervenciones educativas que superen los desafíos planteados por la pandemia. Además, los educadores pueden usar los ejemplos citados en este documento como orientación para responder de manera adecuada ante los retos que se presenten en cuanto a la educación en salud durante el Covid-19.

    Globally, tertiary education has been greatly affected by the Covid-19 crisis. In this essay we explore the impact of the pandemic on this educational sector in an Australian setting; specifically, we discuss how the Research School of Popula-tion Health at the Australian National University adjusted and adapted to the changing circumstances arising from the pandemic. In this respect, two adjustments (both described in detail in the text) in the way mental health education was delivered at the School were proposed to mitigate the impact of Covid-19 and enhance the university’s capacity to provide quality public health education to students. Thus, this essay shows that it is possible to design educational interventions that surmount the challenges posed by the pandemic. In ad-dition, educators may use the examples cited in this paper to guide them to respond appropriately to the challenges that have arisen in terms of health education due to Covid-19.
