MONTEAGUDO PENA, José Luis. Information and Communication Technologies. Educ. méd. [online]. 2004, vol.7, suppl.1, pp.15-22. ISSN 1575-1813.

Information and Communication Technologies are essential to support professional research activities in biomedicine and health. Their adoption and use is linked to efficiency and competitivity. After need analysis, TICs applications whose knowledge is recommended, are identified. Needs are referred to activities linked to the execution of research projects but also to teaching, continuous training and professional development.  Based on that, it is proposed a formative programme structure with different competence levels and with a combination of horizontal common general skills and vertical specialization areas.  Finally, it is outlighted that new technologies facilitate new instruments but also they represent new working cultures and present new ethic and legal dilemmas to the researchers that would need to be educated in new working environments.

Keywords : Biomedical research; Information and Communication Technologies; Internet; e-Health; Telemedicine.
