In this context, the Hospital Universitario Puerta de Hierro-Majadahonda (Madrid, Spain) implemented a strategy for digital training based on the creation and publication of educational pills through a mobile application developed by the Continuation Training Unit (Formación SanidadMadrid App). During the pandemic, 24 educational pills were created, produced and published through the app, in three forms: short-duration video, access to websites with updated information, and brief documents on procedures. The design of the educational pills was based on these teaching-learning methods: mobile learning and microlearning, considered useful and effective tools to give an answer to training needs in a university hospital when faced with a health emergency, given their wide acceptance by healthcare professionals.
