Introduction The Cleveland-Cusco Connection (CCC) elective was created during the COVID-19 pandemic to continue global health (GH) education for Case Western Reserve University (CWRU) and Universidad Nacional de San Antonio Abad del Cusco (UNSAAC) medical students. The CCC elective was held over Zoom and aimed to promote international collaboration, knowledge about health systems, and perspectives in GH with synchronous and asynchronous learning. Methods Peruvian and US medical students participated in six monthly sessions consisting of student presentations and large and small group discussions. The elective was led collaboratively by CWRU and UNSAAC students. We evaluated students’ experience using pre- and post-course surveys. Results Nineteen students (76%) completed the post-course survey. The median rating for meeting each course objective was “somewhat effective” on a 5-point scale ranging from “very ineffective” to “very effective.” All respondents would recommend the course to a friend. Common barriers included language challenges, fatigue from other coursework, and technology issues. Seven students’ pre- and post-course surveys could be linked. The number of students who agreed with the statements assessing course objectives increased for all questions between the pre- and post-test, with only the number agreeing that they understood the Peruvian healthcare system increasing significantly ( p < 0.05). Discussion The CCC elective provides a valuable GH educational opportunity via a virtual platform. Students reported that learning from their peers was effective and enjoyable. Conclusion Virtual GH electives like the CCC may offer benefits in terms of cost, equity, and flexibility and merit further investigation.

El aprendizaje se puede definir como el cambio de conducta que tiene un alumno, más o menos permanente, por tanto, su evaluación es indispensable para comprobar la capacidad para la toma de decisiones orientadas a la solución de diversas problemáticas que se le presentarán al profesionista, es decir, para modificar y mejorar el aprendizaje durante el período de enseñanza desde la formación básica, la función de la evaluación es eminentemente pedagógica ya que se realiza para obtener la información necesaria para dimensionar el proceso de cambio, en el llamado “proceso formativo”, ello constituye lo que en las sociedades del conocimiento, se denomina “el saber”, es en este momento en el que juega un rol trascendente un ingrediente especial, la capitalización de los “valores de la persona” como elemento imprescindible para lograr una formación integral y continuar por la derecha en la vida.
