description Background: the Moodle platform is a free software that allows to organize and manage the teaching-learning process. Objective: to describe the use of the Moodle platform in the Medical Computing discipline at Mariana Grajales Coello School of Medicine of the Holguín province. Methods: a descriptive study was carried out during the 2018-2019 academic year. Theoretical methods were used: analysis-synthesis and induction-deduction for the theoretical references of the subject and the conformation of the final research report; Empirical ones: documentary analysis and survey in questionnaire form for second-year students and professors of the discipline. Results: the use of the Moodle platform has been used by the majority of professors and students to organize content and update bibliography, it was found that there is limited knowledge of the tools offered for individual interactive assessment by professors. The little equipment of computer media in laboratories for students, it affects its best use although they can use their tablets and cell phones to access to the aforementioned platform. Conclusions: the Medical Computing discipline takes advantage of the options offered by the Moodle platform to contribute to the improvement of the teaching-learning process due to the numerous advantages of its application.
