Abstract
Purpose: The objective of this article is to conduct a literature review to understand and analyze the use of information technologies in medical education. Design/methodology/approach: In this documentary article, the method employed focused on the review of various databases (Scopus, Redalyc, Scielo, and Web of Science). Findings: As a result, it was found that telemedicine, in particular, has facilitated online consultations and real-time feedback, enhancing the quality of healthcare and promoting continuous professional development. Virtual medical simulations have provided a safe and controlled environment for students and professionals to practice clinical skills, refine techniques, and build confidence before facing real-life situations. Additionally, access to online educational resources, such as digital libraries and medical journals, has expanded access to medical knowledge and enabled students and professionals to stay updated in an ever-evolving field.References
