Medicine today is characterized by widespread use of new information and communication technologies (ICT) - mobile phones, teletext, fax and electronic mail (e-mail). Global computer network allows access to a number of databases with bibliographic, epidemiological, image and other information, which increasingly emphasizes the importance of the application of the Internet in medicine. Systems to assess health status, to diagnose diseases and systems to support clinical practice have become available over the Internet. Methods: The survey was conducted among the students of the sixth year of the Medical Faculty of the University of Sarajevo, generation of 2009/10 and 2012/13, through specifically created questionnaire. The questionnaire was entirely anonymous. The questionnaire consists of five classes of data that are consisted of created relevant variables from the first author of this article. For evaluation of opinions modified Likert scale of measurement was used. Results: Student feedback on what should be added to the teaching in the field of Medical Informatics is such that students in 2008/09 twice as much thought that there should be more practical work on PC, more education via the Internet and distance learning is present in 2012. Students from both surveys agree that they should improve their knowledge about the databases, but in 2009 there was even twice more students than there is today which considered that they need to improve their knowledge about MS Office and Internet. As the future of information technology students listed in both surveys using the Internet, followed by the databases and multimedia applications. Conclusion: Easier access to useful biomedical information is provided in almost every part of the planet Earth, as to users of health care (patients), as well to physicians and other health care personnel in health institutions. They all have the power to quickly and easily collect and share information from their local and wider environment.
