This article aims to present reflections regarding medical education on internship and pediatric residency in the Brazilian scenario, in the light of the COVID-19 pandemic. It is, therefore, a documentary report complemented with the authors’ experiences, which focused on interns and pediatric residents upon medical teaching challenges, the impact of cancellations, online activities and medical competencies. The results indicate a trend towards the adoption of a hybrid model and the need to enhance the students’ communication, support their mental health and apply a competence-based evaluation, aiming to correct gaps in time.
