This study aims to identify the main challenges for the maintenance of teaching in the Health Area during the COVID-19 pandemic period. An integrative review methodology was used, with search for articles carried out on the PubMed Central and Google Scholar platforms, using the descriptors Health Education, Coro-navirus infections. Twelve articles were selected, whose analysis allowed the identi-fication of six main challenges: assessment of the maintenance of practical intern-ships; minimization of damage to the students' professional careers; access barriers to technologies; establishment of a virtual collaborative space; need for favorable family environments; concern for the mental health of those involved. This study leads to the conclusion that this may be an opportunity to rethink practices and strategies used in the scope of education and training of health professionals, es-pecially due to the potential economic and social impact of a pandemic.

This study aims to analyze, through an integrative review, the applicability of methodologies in a context of distance education. The search for articles was carried out on the Google Scholar research platform, using the descriptors Distance Education, Problem-Based Learning, and Health Education. At the end, 12 articles were selected, whose analysis allowed the identification of three categories that address the historical evolution of teaching methodologies, tools, and their applicability to the current Brazilian context, and main difficulties. The study of the literature confirmed the increasingly important role of the insertion of technological resources in health education, and allowed the identification of resources having greater practicality and feasibility of application in the current setting in Brazil. Among the Digital Technologies of Information and Communication allowing the use of methodologies as a way of teaching, the use of digital narratives in the learning process and virtual learning platforms stands out.
