That is why digital and informational competences promote knowledge in societies and specifically for Health Sciences, they have a transcendent value. Higher Medical Education as a macro process for the undergraduate level, specifically shows the need for technologists to be trained in this type of competencies, which enable them to adapt to a digital era and to the constant changes in technology that are part of their professional practice, making them more competent and competitive once they reach the professional practice after graduation.
