Abstract:
Introduction:
Students from the Physiotherapy degree in the Faculty of Health Sciences of the University of Málaga do their internships during the third and fourth years. These practices are included in the subjects of Practicum I (third year), II and III (fourth year) with 40 ECTS. Specifically, in the third year through 3 rotations with a duration of 5 weeks each, and in the fourth through 4 rotations. In the third year about musculoskeletal conditions with a program based in primary care centres, public and private hospitals, private clinics. In the fourth year the students rotate through centres of adult neurology, physiotherapy in early care, and child neurology, geriatrics, oncology... Each student rotates around the assigned centre supervised by one tutor in a single work area.
The practicum in physiotherapy has always been carried out with physical presence and interaction of the student with the patient, the tutor and the rest of the team.
This academic year, since the internship in this degree is carried out in the second term, from mid-February to the beginning of June, and given the world pandemic by the Covid19, it was necessary to adapt it to the new situation and facilitate that the student could carry out the internship through teleassistance services offered by physiotherapy services.
Since 2016, students' knowledge has been evaluated with a rubric based on specific and transversal competences called RECOFISII, and this academic year, despite everything that has happened, and with the adaptation of the practicum, the clinical tutors evaluated the students with this same rubric.

Objective:
To evaluate the degree of satisfaction of the students with the evaluation system RecoFisII, and to compare it with the satisfaction of students from previous years, when the internship was presential and not with teleassistance as it has been done this year.

Content and context of the experience:
It has been carried out in the different services of teleassistance by the services of Primary Care, Early Attention, Child Neurology, Geriatrics... in agreement with the University of Malaga. In these services, the student is included in the teleassistance sessions with the previous consent of the families. In total, 300 clinical tutors have evaluated students.

Conclusions and implications for tutoring and clinical learning:
89% of the students considered satisfactory the evaluation of the clinical practices carried out with teleassistance.
Therefore, we can conclude that with the practices, despite the fact of not having completed them face-to-face, students have been able to be evaluated in competences and the feeling of having fulfilled their expectations is very high.
