In the past century, the amount of scientific information has grown tremendously in every field of education, due to the increase in science production and data accessibility that Internet has been able to provide worldwide. It is expected that medical knowledge double in a period of time as short as merely 73 days in 2020, according to Prof. Peter Densen´s predictions in 2011, addressing the problem of how to keep it up during medical graduation [1]. He stated that a student starting medical school in 2010 will experience nearly three doublings in knowledge by the time he/she completes minimal training needed to practice medicine. Graduates in 2020 will have to cope with four doublings in knowledge.
