Evaluation of e-learning in the Covid 19 epidemic crisis and the prospect of its complementary use in the post-crisis period from the perspective of medical students

Coronavirus 19, which has been reported in Wuhan, China since late 2019, has imposed restrictions on many activities, including attending universities and classrooms. To this end, e-learning has replaced face-to-face training in medical sciences in many countries, including Iran. This type of education also needs to evaluate the quality and extent of its application in the post-corona period, so we decided to conduct a study to determine the views of students as direct beneficiaries of e-learning in this regard. This descriptive-correlationalstudy was performed on all the students of the Student Committee for Education Development of Medical Universities in the academic year 1399-1399, of which a sample of 127 people were included in the census. The data collection tool was a researcher-made questionnaire that was used after validation and reliability. Descriptive statistical indicators were used to describe and explain closed-ended questions and the content analysis method for open-ended questions was used to analyze the data.  The sum of opinions of e-learning learners shows that the main problem of e-learning in the country's medical universities is structural problems and issues in the field of bandwidth and low Internet speed, lack of e-learning culture and lack of essential skills of professors and students in Applying this type of training. Therefore, providing empowerment platforms for people along with providing software and hardware infrastructure is important in using this method as a complementary training in medical sciences.
