Introduction:
On January 30, 2020, the WHO declared the pandemic by COVID19. The appearance of a new disease poses various challenges to society and medical education.
Objective:
The aim of the study was to determine which are the ICTs and educational platforms used during the pandemic, and to analyze the compliance with entrustable professional activities (APROC).
Method:
Cross-sectional, descriptive and analytical study in students of Medicine Faculty of the UNAM, through the application of an anonymous survey divided into three sections: a) Knowledge of ICTs and educational platforms, b) Planning, development and evaluation of the subject and c) APROC development.
Results:
119 students, 60.5% female and 39.5% male. The average of virtual platforms used was 2.7 ± 1.1, the most common were Zoom, Google Classrooom and Edmodo. Access to up-to-date information, the ability to organize the time, and financial savings were described as strengths. Absence of clinical practice and not being able to establish a doctor-patient relationship as weaknesses. The problems detected were: lack of access or poor internet connection, overlapping class schedules and delay in the feedback of tasks or doubts. 67.2% had knowledge of the planning, development and evaluation of the subject. Of the APROC, 76.9% were in Q3, 15.4% in Q2 and 7.7% in Q1.
