The experience report of the event ''I Symposium on neglected tropical diseases'' aims to demonstrate the syllogism used during the project, through the context of the current public health situation in Brazil. During the symposium, tropical diseases were described that, although they have a significant incidence, are commonly neglected. Moreover, it correlated these diseases with the Covid-19 pandemic and with social, physical and mental issues involved in this theme, since it is extremely important to know this situation by Brazilian physicians and academics.
The event took place on April 19-21, 2021, and was held online through the Stream Yard platform with simultaneous transmission on YouTube, in which viewers could ask questions by chat. The diseases addressed were leprosy, onchocerciasis, schistosomes, leishmaniasis, mycetoma and Chagas disease. At the end of each lecture, participants answered a questionnaire, via Google Forms, which was compared with another pre-event form for symposium impact assessment.
The correlation with Covid-19 is extremely important for current medical education, in view of its economic, social, cultural and political impacts, and it is essential that, together with this scenario, strategies are developed that meet the health needs of vulnerable populations in our country. Moreover, the challenges involving this group of diseases are great, because there are multiple factors that make the diagnosis and treatment of neglected tropical diseases an obstacle for the Brazilian health system. Therefore, the event '' I Symposium on neglected tropical diseases'' besides showing a learning space for the academic and personal training of students, becomes a tool for the application of future actions in relation to the management and prevention of these diseases in Brazil.
