This study aims to explore the perceptions of Medical students at Abadan University of Medical Sciences regarding electronic assessment methods during the pandemic.

Results: Through the analysis process, the participants’ experiences were categorized into six main classes, which included the following: information technology infrastructure, teaching methods of teachers, design of virtual exam questions, monitoring of online exams, psychological issues, and types of Virtual assessment. Conclusion: The Medical students shared their experiences with Virtual assessment during the pandemic, highlighting challenges related to internet infrastructure, communication issues between teachers and students, exam monitoring, psychological factors, reduced learning efficiency due to virtual summative assessment alone, and better learning efficiency through formative assessment alongside summative assessment.
