Abstract: The Covid-19 pandemic has rapidly given rise to an imperative need for online learning to guarantee a continuity in undergraduate medical education. All students were required to study from home due to the level 4 lockdown. To ensure that our students continue to learn methodological and cognitive skills concerning the activities of: anamnesis, clinical reasoning, procedural skills and clinical deepening supported by case discussion, the Office for Medical Education (OME) developed, on our University online platform (LMS), e-learning practical activities. Also the final evaluation has been converted into a Formative Feedback. We would like to share our experience in the rearrangement of Professionalising Activities in the form of e-learning, presenting also the traditional activities we carry out in Humanitas University. Advantages and limitations of this new project are discussed and, in their light, future perspective with a view to a subsequent improvement are presented.
