Teaching virtual clinic: a training space for teaching medical sciences

Abstract

Virtual Clinic is a space with teaching aims in medical sciences, where the implementation of the scientific method prevails in the clinical, epidemiological and diagnostic aspects; however, inadequacies in the use of this technological tool to approach and solve professional situations in predegree and postdegree training processes have been evidenced. That is why, it was decided to elaborate a didactic strategy that propitiated the development of training activities in the careers and specialties of medical sciences with the support of virtual Clinic as expression of Telemedicine, and that can be adapted according to the peculiar characteristics of the group of students, subjects and specificities of each topic.
