Medical residency is considered the gold standard in the training of specialists in Family Medicine. There is a high demand for suitably qualified professionals in this area in the Brazilian context. However, this residency is still unattractive to most medical graduates, a fact revealed by the countless vacant vacancies and high dropout rates despite serious attempts to make it more motivating for the candidate. The pandemic has further intensified this lack of interest and there are signs that it will persist in 2021. Thus, it is necessary and urgent to seek new strategies. Among the alternatives that can combat this discouragement are the restructuring of virtual teaching environments and the redistribution of residents' workload.
