Information and Communication Technologies (ICT), that are also inserted in health, can promote substantial gains to the teaching in this area, providing additional didactic resources, relevant to teachers, especially in pandemic periods, when institutions will need to develop Emergency Remote Teaching (ERT). The article is a narrative review that aims to review the use of technologies in health and medical education and to discuss the existing perspectives in the post-pandemic world. In this concept online learning assumes strategic importance, allowing a flexible, open and interactive educational modality, favoring collaborative teaching, not forgetting some counterpoints, such as the availability of access and cognitive overload (“zoom fatigue”). The current pandemic crisis has brought, in addition to the adoption of technologies, the possibility of modernizing education as a whole, improving efficiency and making the academic experience more reflective, through hybrid, face-to-face and virtual teaching.
