The advent of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020 imposed unexpected changes in educational practices, which involved the emergency transition of courses traditionally offered in the modality of face-to-face teaching to remote online teaching. This study aimed to know the perception of Brazilian occupational therapy students about the possibilities of learning and their role in the fields of professional practice during the pandemic. A cross-sectional quantitative study was conducted through the application of an online questionnaire. Participants were 236 students of public and private undergraduate courses in Occupational Therapy. The participants agreed to the implementation of remote education during the pandemic, but argued that training be fully developed in person after the end of this emergency. Most said that their emotional state in the pandemic impaired learning. The students recognized the relevance of their performance in the fields of practice but they felt unprepared to provide assistance to the population in the format of telehealth practices. It is expected that this study will contribute to the planning and improvements in the courses as long as it is necessary to maintain remote education, as well as to evaluate the training in occupational therapy during and after the pandemic.
