Resumen
[EN]The new technologies have advanced astonishingly in the last few decades. There are more and more
Medical Schools adopting new tools to teach Medicine to undergraduate students or even to teach the
continuous training for professionals. Not all the Universities adopt these technologies at same level or
same grade of the speed but as a result it seems that they will adopt more and more often the new
technologies as part of the curriculum.
This paper wants to be a review of the state of the art technologies that have stepped in the Medical
Schools in the last decade. Overall, we want to describe the function of these new tools, how all of
them have been adopting to teach Medicine answering most part of the demands of physicians and
how they could be evolved in the future to continue making the medical education a new revolutionary
industry in continual progress. Not only that, it makes the engineering biomedical a field very
interesting to explore and to be invested on, as they could enhance the skills of new professionals of
Medicine to be prepared for the digital environment where they will work on. It is important to notice
that the advanced technologies are enhanced at more speed than the education is able to adopt in.
Sometimes, the reason could be the unawareness of these technologies. Occasionally, it could be the
money needed to invest and from time to time it could be that the leaderships of Medical Schools are
not convinced enough that the new technologies will work.
