Journal Title: RHS-Revista Humanismo y Sociedad - Year 2015, Vol 3, Issue 1
Abstract
We described the use of Internet as a searching tool by family doctors that worked in Antioquia’s institutions during the second semester of 2014. In this descriptive, exploratory study, we surveyed anonymously 40 family doctors volunteers. We found that 97.5 % of the surveyed doctors used Internet, and 90% used it every day. 27.5 % of the sample did not have access to Internet at work while 72.5 % did. Searching for professional (medical) and leisure answers were the most common use (52.5 %), and 72.5 % considered that Internet improved their professional experience. The use of Internet has spread to all professional disciplines and is very frequent that the family doctors use this tool; it uses are very promising in this area, although more specific training in searching techniques and reliable sources of information are required.
