Higher education underwent a transformation with the integration of Information and Communication Technologies in curricular proposals. Offering the student a specific knowledge of the new ways and tools of communication became necessary with its implementation. To this end, the health information network of Cuba (INFOMED) has two main projects: the Virtual Health Library and the Virtual Health University. The Virtual University Professorship was created at the University of Medical Sciences of Villa Clara in 1999. So far three updates have been made to this site, which has allowed the training of hundreds of professionals. We can state that the Virtual Health University project in Villa Clara, in its twenty years of service, has evolved satisfactorily and is at the service of all health professionals.
