Impact of the virtual modality on the quality of learning of students in the area of health sciences

Abstract

The transition to virtual education in higher education, accelerated by the COVID-19 pandemic, has left a significant mark on the learning of students in the health sciences area, where the implementation of virtual education has faced particular challenges. The hands-on nature of these disciplines, requiring clinical interactions and hands-on experiences, is limited in virtual environments, and the loss of face-to-face interactions and adaptation of assessment methods have been notable challenges.
