Introduction:

The past epidemiological contingency caused by SARS-CoV-2 represented a serious health situation that impacted all spheres of life with negative consequences, including education.

Objective:

Propose a system of actions designed to guarantee the academic results of the final year of the Medicine degree (2020-2021 academic year) during the outbreak of COVID-19 as a methodological proposal in the face of epidemiological contingencies.

Method:

We started from the results of a participatory action research as a previous qualitative study, used as a mechanism to generate ideas and as the main method of data collection, where, through intentional sampling modalities, key informants were selected among students and teachers to whom that participant observation and the previously conceived active open interview were applied as techniques. The data obtained in the field work were exhaustively analyzed and coded. The preparation of the final report allowed the design of the actions.

Results:

The implementation of the designed system of actions, supported by the regulatory documents, allowed the decentralization of the 6th. year of the Medicine degree towards their municipalities of residence, with guarantees for the strengthening of knowledge and skills, confirmed by the results obtained in the state exams.

Conclusions:

A system of actions is presented that effectively contributed to systematizing knowledge and skills by students during the 2020-2021 academic year, demonstrated by their academic results, which supports its relevance in epidemiological contingencies.
