Glossary of terms for career guidance through the use of ICT

Abstract

The process of Formation of the Medical Sciences Professionals requires a constant improvement for the fulfilment of the purposes demanded by the current society in the Cuban University. The scanty mastery of the terms and concept on Medical Information Technology Discipline for the realisation of research and teaching activities has been one of the main difficulties shown by the students at the School of Medicine No. 2. This glossary is a supporting teaching material intended to first and second year students of Medicine and it is shaping up to improve the study and  understanding of the subjects in the first two years: Methodology of Research, Statisitics and Medical information Technology. It was necesary to carry out a very exhaustive bibliographic revision of texts and other Spanish and English bibliography taking into account the full meaning with a logical sequence and alphabetical order.
