Objective:

to assess the impact of the hypermedia "Internationalists forever" for learning local history in medical sciences.

Methods:

a prospective pre-experimental study was carried out at the Faculty of Medical Sciences of Sagua la Grande from 2018 to 2020. Theoretical methods were used: analysis-synthesis, induction-deduction, structural systemic and historical-logical; and empirical ones: questionnaire to students.

Conclusions:

the impact of hypermedia was effective in considerably increasing knowledge about local history related to their municipality of origin, and it was a useful e-aid to confirm their values of solidarity.
