VASQUEZ, Daniel. Benefits, disadvantages and eight recommendations for virtual medical education in times of COVID-19. CES Med. [online]. 2020, vol.34, n.spe, pp.14-27.  Epub 31-Ago-2021. ISSN 0120-8705.  https://doi.org/10.21615/cesmedicina.34.covid-19.3.

The COVID-19 pandemic has led to the implementation of preventive isolation as a public health measure and with these new challenges are presented for higher education institutions and especially for careers with high attendance content. A literature review was conducted in Pubmed in conjunction with reference texts in virtual education, medical education, expert opinions and articles derived from these by the snowball method. The advantages of virtual medical education mostly refer to flexibility in time, space, opportunities and resources from an individualized approach. The disadvantages, on the other hand, depend on the lack of preparation in infrastructure, as well as by teachers and students for the new modalities. The recommendations are based on a change of strategy in which the student can approach the contents in a friendly and summarized way prior to the live classes and that the latter have a focus directed to the complementation and resolution of doubts. Recommendations are presented for teachers who currently teach their contents in a virtual way to favour learning and the fulfilment of objectives. An annex is included with tools for the development of classes and other useful content for the study of topics in different areas.
