Distance Education (DE) is a teaching modality established with the purpose of expanding the possibilities of access to education, promoting a democratization of access to knowledge. The objective of the work was to analyze the impact of telemedicine during medical training. The methodology was an integrative literature review to answer the PICO strategy (P: medical students; I: distance education; C: face-to-face education; O: telemedicine as a harmful factor): Can Telemedicine be harmful to medical training?It was observed that 90% of the students agreed that this methodology was motivating, and that it favored the active participation of the students. Distance education, when systematized and well applied, allows for greater interaction, improvement of knowledge in a flexible environment, with a consequent improvement in the quality of learning, however it should not aim to replace the traditional medical teaching model, much less when it comes to practical content.Keywords: education, education distance, medicine, students medical, telemedicine.
