نبذة مختصرة : Introduction: Due to the measures imposed by the argentine government during the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic, the capacity of universities and hospitals for the development of face-to-face educational activities has been restricted. Therefore, we set out to explore the perceptions of the educational impact and the experience in the virtual environment of Argentine medical students. Methods: We carried out an observational, analytical, cross-sectional study. The data collection was carried out through a national questionnaire in the period between April 19 and June 15, 2020 through a “snowball” type sampling. Results: The study population involved medical students from Argentina (n = 1520 students). From which we observed that 95.41% (n = 1505) believed that their formation was affected, only 56.14% (n = 850) of the universities were able to virtualize all the subjects, and 97.69% (n = 1479) believed that argentine universities were not fully prepared. As for their experience in virtuality; 92.98% (n = 1364) reported that virtual education allowed them to advance in their career, 76.89% (n = 1128) indicated that the quality of the virtual classes got worse compared to the face-to-face ones, and 58.55% (n = 859) did not have the possibility to take an exam virtually. Conclusion: Consequently, we concluded that the COVID-19 pandemic exposed the need to prepare medical careers for the management of educational contingencies. The results of this research reflect a student population affected in their learning by this situation. Educational policies that take into account the needs expressed by students are crucial. ; Introducción: Debido al aislamiento impuesto por el gobierno durante la pandemia por SARS-CoV-2, se restringió la presencialidad en actividades educativas de universidades y hospitales.
