RUFIN-GOMEZ, Lorenzo Ángel; VEJA-SOCORRO, Martha Noraida  and  GARCIA-GARCIA, Diana Rosa. Challenges for teaching medical sciences under contingency conditions. Rev.Med.Electrón. [online]. 2024, vol.46  Epub Jan 18, 2024. ISSN 1684-1824.

The pandemic of COVID-19 contributed to affect the traditional training process of the health professionals, which is why adjustments and modifications were abruptly implemented to guarantee the continuity of the teaching-learning process. The objective of the bibliographical review is to update the adequacy in the teaching methods in the different teaching scenarios during the different contingency stages. The review included publications, mostly from the period 2019-2021, and database used were mainly EBSCO, CUMED and SciELO. As a result of the research, it is proposed the complementation of face-to-face classes by other remote modalities, either virtual or online: a semi-face-to-face form, with a bigger employment of the social networks and virtual platforms. In conclusion, the teaching of medical sciences in times of contingency is a challenge, since it has been necessary to move from traditional face-to-face education to other forms, with emphasis on information and communication technologies, and thus reorganize education to ensure the training of health professionals.
