NODARSE RODRIGUEZ, Mario. The teaching of Information Sciences in the curriculum of the medical students and of other related specialties. ACIMED [online]. 2005, vol.13, n.6, pp. 0-0. ISSN 1024-9435.

In order to determine the present tendencies toward the incorporation of the teaching of information science to the curriculum of the medical students and other related specialties, it was made a review of the literature available in the biomedical databases -bibliographical or complete text style- and of multiple web sites with information related to the theme, starting from different search engines -general and thematic. The current world tendency is the information literacy to all the society, at all levels of eduation, especially at the university. An increasing importance is given to the introduction of courses or subjects on information sciences to the curriculum of the medical students and of other health professions at the world level. The curriculum design, in effect in Cuba for the career of medicine and other related disciplines, lacks a program, subject or course that contributes to the knowledge and creation of the necessary skills among the students of these disciplines to use the resources and the information associated with their specialties.
