ABSTRACT

It is presented the new design of the discipline Medical Informatics which is part of the Medicine curriculum in Cuba. This discipline has 120 hours distributed in two subjects in the first two years of the studies. It includes contents of Informatics, Statistics and Research Methodology. Based on the professors opinions from all over the country, experts from the National Health System and taking into account the experience of more than five years teaching the previous discipline, it was decided to introduce the migration to free software, to duplicate the hours dedicated to Research Methodology and to diminish the goals in Statistical Inference, among other changes that are in practice since September 2010, and are exposed in this paper.
