Introduction: In the year 2020 the World Health Organization (WHO)( WHO,2020), declared as a pandemic respiratory infectious infectious disease that was named coronavirus infectious disease-19 (Corona VIrus Disease 2019, known as COVID-19), first identified on December 12, 2019 in Wuhan. Aim: To describe the strategies implemented in universities of medical sciences worldwide and in South Consolation during COVID-19. Methods: a search of available evidence was conducted in Medline/Pubmed, Scopus, and EBSCO databases using the terms “COVID-19”, “medical education”, “SARS”, “MERS”, and “Medicine School”. Articles available as full text were reviewed and those detailing the strategies implemented during the SARS-CoV1, MERS, and Covid-19 epidemics were selected.  Conclusions: the analysis of the strategies during the COVID-19 epidemic highlighted the importance of taking into account previous actions and adapting them to our reality. Developing our own strategies that achieved a greater interaction of students with the community and the family, with greater interaction with the teacher, teacher adaptation to the use of ICT, interaction of students with the municipal teaching department and the basic health team of each area, and close communication with students and parents, to have the largest number of virtual tools that allowed to cover the different learning styles.
