Leishmaniasis is a neglected and endemic disease in remote locations in Peru, and there is evidence of a high rate of inexperience on the part of health personnel working in endemic areas; associated with the diagnosis, treatment and ignorance of national and international protocols regarding the disease; which translates into an increase in adverse events or an incomplete cure for patients. On the other hand, the COVID-19 pandemic has caused disruption in educational systems, stimulating the application of distance educational approaches. An academic program of higher education was developed under the virtual modality, aimed at health professionals who work in risky or endemic areas of leishmania, within the framework of eLearning, using information and communication technologies (ICT) as tools for learning; and the MEDESME methodology was applied in the planning of educational digital tools. The product included the academic record of the program "integumentary and visceral leishmaniasis", various self-study resources and digital assessment strategies. The application of the educational program would allow health professionals to be trained and updated and, consequently, to optimize the diagnosis, treatment and follow-up of patients affected by the different manifestations of leishmaniasis.
