Different from the old Flexnerian Clinic model, currently, the Expanded Clinic model is welfarism and based on the Medicine National Curriculum Guidelines, which aim at restructuring and adapting medical curriculum as a way of guaranteeing proper care according to the needs of the served population, as well as making use of methodologies that facilitate the active participation of the academic. The digital methodology is an example of an active instrument and facilitator in the dissemination of knowledge and learning. Thus, this study aimed to analyze the impact that the use of this tool can have on the academic training process, taking into account the different results found in digital searches on common medical topics, such as Systemic Arterial Hypertension, Diabetes Mellitus, and Dyslipidemia. For this, we use the online search platforms Google, Google Scholar, Scielo, and Medical Guidelines. The results found, showed that the search for academic articles was more reliable in the last two options, while in the Google and Google Scholar platforms the variety of products obtained was, for the most part, unsatisfactory for the medical-academic level.
