N2 - Medical services in Columbia are scarce in many regions, not only because of accessibility problems and costs, but also because of difficulties in access to medical knowledge. We envision a long-term strategy for virtual education programs, based upon communication technologies that could be developed by private and government institutions. The diffusion of telemedicine concepts, applications, and technologies are critical for propagating medical knowledge. This paper describes the virtual education experiences at the Pontificia Universidad Javeriana.
