| Abstract (English): |
This article describes the means of dissemination and digital open educational resources (DOER) used by 80 Colombian medical societies. Using a document analysis of their official platforms, we identified a predominant use of networks like Facebook and YouTube, as well as a high frequency of conferences and webinars among the DOERs. However, innovative formats like podcasts and downloadable materials had poor adoption rates. The findings evidence a partial transition toward digital medical education, with opportunities for improvement in format diversification, pedagogical innovation and accessibility for different audiences. We conclude that these entities play a key role in democratizing health knowledge. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |

Este artículo caracteriza los medios de divulgación y los recursos educativos digitales abiertos (REDA) utilizados por 80 sociedades médicas colombianas. A través de un análisis documental de sus plataformas oficiales, se identificó un uso predominante de redes como Facebook y YouTube, así como una alta frecuencia de conferencias y webinars entre los REDA. Sin embargo, formatos innovadores como los podcasts y los materiales descargables presentan una baja adopción. Los hallazgos evidencian una transición parcial hacia la educación médica digital, con oportunidades de mejora en la diversificación de formatos, la innovación pedagógica y la accesibilidad para distintos públicos. Se concluye que estas entidades tienen un rol clave en la democratización del conocimiento en salud. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
