VAZQUEZ CONDE, Julio P.. Computer-driven simulations in the teaching of the physics in the Pre-Medical Course. RP [online]. 2022, vol.10, n.2, pp. 94-109.  Epub Oct 22, 2022. ISSN 2308-3042.

The computers have penetrated in the different spheres of the activity of the society, in particular the public health. The calculation experiments or computer-driven simulations, initially developed for the solution of problems from other sciences like the physics, are broadly used in public health in either epidemiology or medical investigation and constitute a teaching mean in the medical high education. The preparation of the new generations of health professionals so that they can assimilate the new technologies used in areas of the profession and their constant changes it is necessary. The professional software for the development of simulations in health sciences is not accessible to the students what implies to find alternative that allows its familiarization with these important tools. On the other hand for the physics course of pre-medical they don't have the necessary equipment of laboratory for the realization of real experiments. The objective of this work is to demonstrate the potentialities of the Java applets to familiarize to the students of the Pre- medical Course with the computer-driven simulations and its possibilities to satisfy the necessity of experimental activity before the lacks of real laboratories in the Preparatory Faculty. The contribution that is carried out resides in a proposal for the applets use for the experimental activity during the resolution of problems of the subject of Physics.
