Introduction:

information and communication technologies optimize the handling of information and the development of communication; they allow acting on them and generating more and new knowledge and intelligence.

Objective:

to inquire about the use of information and communication technologies in the teaching-learning process, from the pages of the EDUMECENTRO magazine.

Methods:

a bibliographic review was carried out to develop an analysis on the content of the bibliographies; Original and review articles published between 2013 and 2019 in Spanish were considered. The search was carried out on the EDUMECENTRO pages, using the SciELO and Google scholar databases, from March to April 2019, selecting the fragments that allowed the fulfillment of the objective and critical judgments. A total of 50 articles were reviewed, out of them 20 were selected to make up the final text.

Development:

the consulted authors agree on the importance of the use of information and communication technologies for teaching in medical sciences and as tools to shape teaching-learning aids. It is emphasized in virtual classrooms as a modality of distance learning and the appearance of various content managers and social networks that allow scientific-medical knowledge to be socialized.

Conclusions:

EDUMECENTRO pages contain enough studies to enter the changing world of information and communication technologies, so it is an imperative to continue researching in this world of information and knowledge.
