Introduction:

as technological development advances by leaps and bounds, virtual and interactive spaces occupy more and more time in man's daily life. The use of information and communication technologies are necessary tools to cope with the high flow of information that is handled.

Objective:

to describe the impact of virtual pre-event courses belonging to CovidCien2021 on medical science students.

Methods:

an observational, descriptive and cross-sectional study was carried out. The universe consisted of 53 students. We worked with the entire universe; no sampling technique was used. Variables: number of courses and participants per course, age, sex, academic year, career and polytomous variables. Descriptive and percentage statistics were used.

Results:

12 courses were given, with an average of 173 participants. The female sex stood out with 36 participants (67,92 %). The fourth academic year (19; 35,84 %) and the medical career (45; 84,90 %) stood out. The mean number of responses was 253,57; there was general satisfaction among the participants. The highest number of responses were in the category totally satisfied.

Conclusions:

the development of courses through virtual spaces offers notable alternatives and benefits. It is presented as a renovating alternative in the face of complex situations that guarantees the continuity of teacher training. Its organization and implementation should not be schematized to a specific sector or subject of knowledge, but should be diversified, without losing sight of the presence as a key element.
