Advances in medicine in recent decades are in significant correlation with the advances in the information technology. Modern information technologies (IT) have enabled faster, more reliable and comprehensive data collection. These technologies have started to create a large number of irrelevant information, which represents a limiting factor and a real growing gap, between the medical knowledge on one hand, and the ability of doctors to follow its growth on the other. 

Education means, learning, teaching, or the process of acquiring skills or behavior modification through various exercises. Traditionally, medical education meant the oral, practical and more passive transferring of knowledge and skills from the educators to students and health professionals. For the clinical disciplines, of special importance are the principles, such as, “learning at bedside,” aided by the medical literature. In doing so, these techniques enable students to contact with their teachers, and to refer to the appropriate literature [1]. The disadvantage of these educational methods is in the fact, that teachers often do not have enough time. Additionally they are not very convenient to the horizontal and vertical integration of teaching, create weak or almost no self education, as well as, low skill levels and poor integration of education with a real social environment.

According to the “Office of Technology Assessment,” “Medical technology is a set of techniques, medicines, equipment, tools and procedures used by the health professionals in providing health care to the individuals and systems, in which such technology is used. Broader concept of medical technology constitutes the health technology, a term that includes all the procedures, tools and techniques that are used in order to improve health, as well as the simplest and the most effective way to treat and rehabilitate certain population. Information technology, in medicine and healthcare can be presented by one complex technological model, (e.g. Technology Package), which includes all the components of technological packages, such as: hardware, software, brain ware and orgware that can actually cover all the medical technology and technology in health activities. Advances in medicine in recent decades are in significant correlation with the advances in the information technology. Modern information technologies have enabled faster, more reliable and comprehensive data collection.

Various forms of information systems have been developed; which can be broadly classified into four main groups: systems based on computer support for learning of basic medical sciences; computer simulation systems for training and testing of clinical competency; systems-based computer consulting and systems based on computers for data management and quality assurance [2].

Since these are complex systems that require a basic knowledge from many disciplines, it is necessary to have enough trained people who utilize information systems. Therefore, educators, in addition to their academic scientific fields must be sufficiently IT literate. To this end, the manufacturers are developing information systems’ applications that are easily acceptable to users, by organizing training of users and by providing continuous support to the functioning of the system.

So, the advances in medical sciences have led to an explosion of information that might be difficult to accept without application of modern information technologies. In recent years, the progress of information technologies and their application in education goes even further. Unlike the earlier mini and micro computer systems in classrooms, libraries and at home, today we are increasingly using web-based networked computer systems for education.
