This paper presents results referring to the experience of first-year students of Medicine at School of Medicine from Universidad Nacional de Rosario during teaching virtualization which took place since 2020 due the pandemic caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus. Main data collection was made by a questionnaire and carried out through a digital form. Some of the analytical axes of inquiry were: conditions of access to virtualization, organization of tasks and student-professor intercourse during pandemic time, opinions about positive and negative aspects of virtual education during the pandemic period. A total of 624 responses of first-year students with a mean age of 21.0 ± 5.8 (range 17-60) were analyzed. At the time of valuing own shares, a higher proportion of negative responses was found; while the analysis of the feeling of accompaniment and relationship with their teachers showed a better assessment. Finally, we highlighted the importance assigned by first-year students to interaction with teachers, tutors and peers.
