Abstract :
In the information society, medical information is dispersed and untrustworthy or the reliable medical information is not free, because it is required to pay a subscription. Generally, teachers, professors and trainers who are responsible for teaching medical skills, use traditional learning techniques which are not based in communication and information technologies. This paper presents an accessible educational framework that is being elaborated, based on the principles of evidence-based medicine, relying on real life scenarios and using virtual reality technologies through the Internet
