The main objective of this paper was to apply the new informational and communication technologies to the teaching-research activity of the medical students with a view to preparing them for their future professional performance. To this end, a Virtual Scientific Event was organized, an unprecedented activity in the teaching of medical sciences in Cuba, in which papers in HTML format were submitted so as to facilitate their publication in Web sites and access by those who are interested. The virtual discussion of these papers was carried out in an Internet Relay Chat(IRC) channel. The objectives of implementing the NICT in the academic work and deepening into the contents of medical psychology were fulfilled. The students created their own Web pages and learned how to establish communication through IRC, besides, Medical Informatics and Psychology were more related.
