ABSTRACT
The COVID-19 pandemic has undoubtedly made us reflect on, among other things, the evident failures of the healthcare system, including the gaps detected in undergraduate and graduate training. One of the points that must be strengthened includes teaching psychological first aid as a humanitarian support technique for people in crisis situations. As has been shown in the context of the SARS-COV-2 pandemic, there is a high psychosocial and emotional component that must be treated by the professional who has the first contact with the affected person. The importance of including psychological first aid in healthcare training, then, is for all staff responding to the emergency to be able to implement it, and not necessarily and exclusively a psychologist.

RESUMEN
No cabe duda que la actual pandemia de COVID-19, ha hecho reflexionar entre otras cosas, sobre las evidentes falencias del sistema de salud, incluyendo los vacíos detectados durante la formación de pregrado y postgrado. Uno de estos puntos a fortalecer, incluye la enseñanza de pri meros auxilios psicológicos como técnica de apoyo humanitario a personas en situación de crisis. Como se ha comprobado en el contexto de la pandemia de SARS-COV2, existe un alto componente psicosocial y emocional que debe ser tratado por el profesional que tiene el primer contacto con la persona afectada. La importancia de incluir primeros auxilios psicológicos en la formación de salud, radica entonces en que puedan ser ejecutados por todo el personal que atiende dicha emergencia, y no necesaria y exclusivamente por un psicólogo.
