COVID-19 por SARS-Cov2 también ha afectado a la Educación Médica

The virus, besides causing a pandemic, with hundreds of thousands ill, and with tens of thousands dead, has had the ability (‘the power’) to break standard education practices. This has had, or may have, one benefit: to reconsider that which is really important and that which is not so important. And this is of great value for the teacher and for the student. And it has also served to recognise and find alternative ways to transmit the knowledge. All things considered, the teacher has had the opportunity to contribute in creating an education model capable of boosting the development of new ways and methods of learning. Certain educational techniques and resources have been able to be recognised as ‘present’ or ‘absent’ in our education system. This implies that certain recourses have to be present, or that is required to optimise those that are available in order to teach, to learn, or to evaluate. Technology helps to provide ‘direct’ contact between teacher and student, between teachers and between students. But it goes without saying that the technology has to be available.
