O IMPACTO DA PANDEMIA DA COVID-19 NA FORMAÇÃO MÉDICA: UMA REVISÃO INTEGRATIVA

Abstract

The pandemic of the Sars-Cov-2 virus and the isolation caused by it reconfigured the traditional face-to-face teaching method for the remote model. This study aims to analyze the implications of this change in the training of future physicians using an integrative review. The research has a qualitative character and was made through the search for articles indexed in the Publisher Medline (PubMed) and Scientific Electronic Library Online (SciELO) databases, using the following descriptors: “COVID-19”; “COVID-19 pandemic”; “SARS-CoV-2 infection”; "Medicine"; “Medicine”; “Distance Education”; “Education. Distance”; "Medical students"; “Students, Medical”. 133 articles were found and analyzed based on the inclusion and exclusion criteria. After this process, the number of articles was reduced to 80. Those were fully read and reduced again, now to 54 articles. It is still unclear what impact the new model of education will have on medical training in the long term. However, it is essential that remote teaching and the curriculum of medical schools continue to be improved due to the persistence of the COVID-19 pandemic or the possibility of other events that affect social interaction, causing online medical education.
